Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 5(2) expressly distinguishes a revenue court from a civil court of original jurisdiction under the Code. The revenue court has jurisdiction under local law over rent, revenue or agricultural-land profits. Statements (ii) and (iv) therefore express the distinction in this section; that does not mean no CPC provision can ever be applied to revenue proceedings.
