Correct answer
Explanation
Alien enemies residing in India may sue with the permission of the Central Government, as provided in Order XXV, CPC (though the specific provision varies across codes). The restriction applies during wartime when the person remains an alien enemy. Option A incorrectly states they can never sue. Option C incorrectly refers to State Government permission. Option D is incorrect as alien enemies cannot sue unconditionally.
