Under Section 16 CPC, suits for recovery of immovable property must be instituted where the property is situated (territorial jurisdiction). However, suits for partition of immovable property may be filed where either the property is situated OR the defendant resides (Section 17 provides an exception for partition suits). Therefore, statement A is correct while B is incorrect.

Under Section 51 CPC, money decrees can be executed by attachment and sale of property (movable or immovable), arrest and detention (ONLY for a limited maximum period, not indefinitely), or other specified modes. Option B is incorrect because it says 'indefinite period' - CPC limits detention. Therefore A is correct and C (which includes the incorrect B) is wrong.

Section 39 of CPC provides three grounds for transfer of decree: (1) when judgment debtor carries on business within the latter court's jurisdiction, (2) when he has no property within former court's jurisdiction sufficient to satisfy decree but has property within latter court's jurisdiction, and (3) when decree directs sale of immovable property situated outside the local jurisdiction of former court. All three conditions independently authorize transfer, making 'All of these' the correct answer.

Order 39 Rule 2(3) CPC allows court to detain person in civil prison for breach of injunction, but only while breach continues, not indefinitely after it ceases (making Option A incorrect). Order 39 Rule 2(j) provides for attachment and potential sale of property, but entire sale proceeds do not go to injured party as compensation - they're held by court (making Option B incorrect). Since both statements misstate the legal provisions, option C is correct.

Under Article 60(1) of the Schedule to the Limitation Act, 1963, a suit by a ward (upon attaining majority) to set aside a transfer of property made by their guardian must be filed within three years. The limitation period begins when the ward attains majority, not from the date of transfer or other events. This is because during minority, the ward lacks legal capacity to challenge the guardian's actions. The clock only starts when the disability (minority) ends and the ward gains full legal capacity to sue. Serving notice on the possessor or refusal to hand over possession are irrelevant starting points for calculating this specific limitation period.

This is an application of the doctrine of estoppel. 'A' intentionally misrepresented that he owned the land, inducing 'B' to purchase it from him. Later, when 'A' actually acquired title to the land, he sought to set aside the sale by claiming he had no title at the time of sale. The law will not allow 'A' to take advantage of his own fraud - he is estopped from denying the title he represented he had when he induced 'B' to buy. The principle is that a person cannot approbate and reprobate - cannot benefit from their own wrongdoing. Even though 'A' technically lacked title at sale time, equity prevents him from proving this to 'B's' detriment.

Under Section 410 IPC, stolen property means property obtained by committing any offence punishable under Chapter XII (offences relating to coin, stamps, and government property) or Chapter XVII (offences against property) which includes robbery, extortion, and criminal breach of trust. Cheating is covered under Chapter XVII but obtaining possession through cheating does not fall within stolen property definition.
