Muhammad Afzal v. Ghulam Kasim (1903) ILR Cal 843 is a leading case on which of the following?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

The case concerns election. The Privy Council held that a prior gift of villages and a later government allowance came from independent sources, so receiving one did not oblige the beneficiary to relinquish the other. Ammalu Achi expressly explains this aspect of the 1903 decision. It illustrates the limits of election, rather than holding that every receipt of two benefits compels a choice.
