Question

Legally ``cause of action'' means

• A. the bundle of facts which give a person a right to sue for relief in court
• B. the interim order of the court
• C. evidences produced by the defendant in the court
• D. evidences produced by the plaint in the court

Hint:

Remember the classic judicial definition: "Cause of action is a bundle of essential facts which, if traversed, the plaintiff must prove to support his right to the judgment."
No cause of action means the plaint can be rejected under Order VII Rule 11 of CPC.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Identify the legal meaning of cause of action.
In procedural law (including the Code of Civil Procedure), a cause of action is the bundle or aggregate of facts that entitles a person to seek a judicial remedy or relief from a court of law.
Step 2: Distinguish from related concepts.
An interim order is a temporary court direction; evidence produced by a party is distinct from the cause of action itself, which pre-exists litigation.
Step 3: Confirm the definition.
A cause of action is specifically the set of facts that gives the plaintiff the legal right to sue the defendant and claim relief.
