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

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

The conventional excluded category is a claim to recover merely voluntary offerings where there is no legal obligation to make them. In contrast, enforceable rights to an office, franchise or worship are civil rights under section 9. This distinction does not exclude every dispute involving offerings: a property or customary entitlement to offerings already received can itself be adjudicated as a civil right.
