Explanation

The correct option is:

C: After a suit has been filed but before its final disposal, to protect the rights of the parties.

Explanation:

An interlocutory order is an order that a court can pass during the pendency of a lawsuit (after a suit has been filed but before its final disposal) to address specific issues or protect the rights of the parties involved. It is intended to maintain the status quo or prevent irreparable harm while the main lawsuit is ongoing. Interlocutory orders can include injunctions, temporary restraining orders, and other interim measures.

Option C correctly describes the circumstances in which a court can pass an interlocutory order – it is done after a lawsuit has been filed but before its final disposal to protect the rights of the parties involved in the case. This allows the court to address urgent or important matters that cannot wait until the final judgment is rendered.
