Option D: None of these

Correct Answer

Option: b

Explanation

The expression de novo trial means a “new trial” by a different tribunal (de novo is a Latin expression meaning “afresh”, “a new”, “beginning again”, hence, the literal meaning “new trial”) A trial de novo is usually ordered by an appellate Court when the original trial failed to make a determination in a manner dictated by law.
