Answer: B
Rejection of the plaint does not, of its own force, preclude the plaintiff from presenting a fresh plaint.
Order VII Rule 13 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 says exactly this: the rejection of the plaint on any of the grounds in Rule 11 shall not of its own force preclude the plaintiff from presenting a fresh plaint in respect of the same cause of action.
Res judicata needs a decision on the merits, which a rejection is not. Order XXIII deals with withdrawal and compromise of suits, and its bar applies to a suit withdrawn without leave, not to a rejected plaint.
