Which of the following enactments contains the general civil-suit pleading provisions for set-off and counterclaim in Order VIII?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

"The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908" addresses set-off in Order VIII rule 6 and counterclaims in rule 6A and the related rules. "The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973" and "The Indian Evidence Act, 1872" concern different fields, and "The Indian Partnership Act, 1932" regulates partnership relations; a partnership dispute can involve these civil pleading devices, but their general procedural source is the CPC.
