BSection 41 only
CSection 5 (recovery on the title) and Section 6 (recovery on the basis of possession, regardless of title, against dispossession otherwise than in due course of law)
DSection 14 only
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Section 5 (recovery on the title) and Section 6 (recovery on the basis of possession, regardless of title, against dispossession otherwise than in due course of law)
Section 5 SRA allows the rightful owner to recover possession on title. Section 6 protects mere possession against forcible dispossession — a summary remedy available against anyone, including the true owner, if dispossession was 'otherwise than in due course of law'.
