The answer is: B

Explanation

The correct option is:

B: The Court cannot take certain actions in a suit without notifying the party filing the caveat.

Explanation:

Filing a caveat before a court is a legal action taken by a party to prevent the court from making certain decisions or taking specific actions in a suit without notifying the party who filed the caveat. When a caveat is filed, it serves as a notice to the court that if any party tries to take certain actions related to a specific matter or case, the court must give prior notice to the party who filed the caveat. This is done to ensure that the party who filed the caveat has an opportunity to be heard and participate in the proceedings before any significant decisions are made by the court.

Option B accurately describes the purpose and effect of filing a caveat in a legal context. It is not about preventing the court from entertaining a suit (Option A) or requiring court approval from the High Court (Option E). It also does not necessarily involve sending parties for mediation (Option D) or allowing the court to take cognizance without notice (Option C).
