- The section specifies a maximum limit for compensatory costs that can be imposed by the court.

- Option 1: Rs.3,000 – This was the original limit, but this has been increased by later amendments.

- Option 2: Rs.5,000 – This was the amended limit for some time, but was later changed.

- Option 3: Rs.10,000 – ?? This is currently the correct limit after the 1999 amendment to CPC.

- Option 4: without any limit – This is incorrect; the law specifies an upper ceiling.
