The tendency for increased litigation was visible after the introduction of the land settlement system of Lord Cornwallis in 1793. The reason for this is normally traced to which of the following provisions?
Explanation
The increased litigation following Lord Cornwallis's land settlement system in 1793 can be attributed to the complex legal framework it established, which formalized land ownership and tenure rights. This meant that disputes over land became more frequent as individuals sought to assert their new legal entitlements under the British system, leading to a rise in court cases. Consequently, the correct option, "None of the (a), (b) and (c) above," indicates that specific provisions typically cited do not wholly capture the systemic increased propensity for litigation that stemmed from the broader legal and administrative changes introduced during this period.
