Which one of the following is NOT a suit of civil nature?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Under section 9 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 civil courts try all suits of a civil nature, and Explanation I makes a suit in which a right to property or to an office is contested a civil suit even if it turns on religious rites or ceremonies. A "Suit involving purely religious rights", such as one about religious honours or rituals unconnected with property or office, is therefore not a suit of a civil nature. Suits on rights of worship, for rent and for a hereditary office involve legal rights and are civil suits.
