D Correct answer
Explanation

Order 11 Rule 2 CPC empowers court to grant leave to deliver interrogatories if it considers this necessary for fair disposal of case. The court exercises discretion based on case needs, not rigid rules about which party may seek them (A is wrong). Interrogatories must relate to matters in question (B is wrong). Court can grant leave despite objections if justified. Option D correctly captures the discretionary nature of this power.
