Question

In Ram v/s Shyam, Ram cannot be a

• A. plaintiff
• B. appellant
• C. defendant
• D. prosecutor

Hint:

Civil case = plaintiff/defendant; Criminal case = prosecution/accused.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The case title “Ram v/s Shyam” indicates a civil proceeding because it is framed as one party versus another private party.
In civil cases, the person who initiates the case is called the plaintiff, and the person against whom it is filed is called the defendant.
If an appeal is filed, the person appealing is called the appellant.
In criminal cases, the case is usually titled “State v/s Accused” and the party conducting the prosecution on behalf of the state is the prosecutor.
Therefore, in a civil case like “Ram v/s Shyam,” Ram cannot be the prosecutor because that role exists in criminal proceedings, not civil disputes.
