Zoya was granted permission to sue as an indigent person under Order 33 of the CPC, and her suit is now in progress. On which of the following grounds can that permission be withdrawn under Order 33, Rule 9?

Option B: The suit is later found to be barred by law.
Option C: The defendant files a counter-claim against Zoya.
Option D: The defendant offers to pay the court fee on Zoya's behalf.

Show answer and explanation

Answer: A. Zoya behaves improperly during the case.

Explanation

Under Order 33, Rule 9, permission can be withdrawn if the plaintiff behaves improperly during the case, if her financial status improves, or if she enters into an agreement with another party about the case. A suit barred by law is a ground for rejecting the application at the start under Rule 5, not a ground for revoking permission under Rule 9.
