    Solution

    Section 80(1) of the CPC mandates that before instituting a suit against the Central Government, State Government, or a public officer for an act done in official capacity, a two months' notice must be served. This provision is mandatory and non-compliance can result in rejection of the plaint under Order 7 Rule 11(d).
