Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under section 9 of the Code of Civil Procedure, civil courts try all suits of a civil nature. A claim merely to "voluntary payments or offerings", without an enforceable right to an office, property or fees attached to it, is not such a suit. Suits about rights to property, suits for rent and suits challenging a dismissal from service all involve enforceable civil rights.
