The correct answer is (a) Section 153A.
Section 153A of the Code of Civil Procedure provides for the trial in open Courts where public may have access. It states that all civil proceedings shall be conducted in open Court, unless the Court, for reasons to be recorded in writing, orders otherwise.
Section 153A is based on the principle of open justice, which is a fundamental principle of the Indian legal system. The principle of open justice means that the public has the right to attend and observe court proceedings. This right is important because it helps to ensure that the courts are accountable to the public and that justice is seen to be done.
There are a few exceptions to the rule that civil proceedings must be conducted in open Court. For example, the Court may order that a hearing be held in camera (in private) if it is necessary to protect the privacy of a party or witness. The Court may also order that a hearing be held in camera if it is necessary to protect national security or the interests of justice.
Section 153A is an important provision of the Code of Civil Procedure. It helps to ensure that the courts are accountable to the public and that justice is seen to be done.
