Where any period is fixed or granted by the Court for doing an act prescribed by the Code of Civil Procedure, the Court may enlarge such period

The correct answer is Option B: Not exceeding 30 days in total.
​Key Legal Provisions
​Section 148 of CPC (Enlargement of Time): > "Where any period is fixed or granted by the Court for the doing of any act prescribed or allowed by this Code, the Court may, in its discretion, from time to time, enlarge such period, not exceeding thirty days in total, even though the period originally fixed or granted may have expired."
​Amendment Note: The phrase "not exceeding thirty days in total" was inserted via the CPC (Amendment) Act, 1999 (w.e.f. July 1, 2002) to curb procedural delays.
​Inherent Powers Exception: In Salem Advocate Bar Association v. Union of India (2005), the Supreme Court held that the 30-day cap under Section 148 is procedural. In exceptional circumstances beyond a party's control, the court may extend time beyond 30 days using its inherent powers under Section 151 CPC.
