Which of the following is not a suit of civil nature?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Each listed suit asserts a civil right: worship, taking out a religious procession, or matrimonial restitution. Section 9 permits civil suits unless cognizance is barred; its explanation recognises that a right may be civil even when its determination depends on religious questions. A claim merely about a religious ceremony without a civil right would be different, but these options expressly concern rights or a matrimonial remedy.
