Section 9 gives civil courts jurisdiction over all 'suits of civil nature.' Rights of worship are purely religious matters with no civil component — they cannot be adjudicated by civil courts. However, if a property or office right is contested (even if it depends on religious ceremonies), it IS a civil suit per Explanation I.

1. 1 Pick up CPC.
2. 2 Go to Section 9 — Courts to try all civil suits.
3. 3 Read: 'courts shall have jurisdiction to try all suits of a civil nature.'
4. 4 Explanation I: property/office rights are civil even if they depend on religious questions.
5. 5 But PURE religious rights (like rights of worship) with no civil right attached are excluded.

The text reads: Section 9: Courts try all civil suits. But purely religious matters like rights of worship (without property/office aspect) are not suits of civil nature.
