A Correct answer
Explanation

Order 37 CPC provides summary procedure for suits to recover liquidated demand based on written contract, dishonored negotiable instrument, or trust recoverable by trustee. Option A correctly states one such ground. Summary procedure is not suo motu - defendant must seek leave to defend (B is wrong). Leave to defend may be conditional or unconditional (C is wrong). Option A alone correctly states the law under Order 37.
