A. that of junior Archakas up to Rs 30,000, while the archakas were sought to withdraw the cases against the TTD
B. that of junior Archakas up to Rs 30,000 and they sought the Archakas to withdraw the cases against them
C. those of junior Archakas up to Rs 30,000, seeking withdrawal of the cases by the Archakas against the TTD
D. those of junior Archakas up to Rs 30,000, because they sought the cases by the Archakas against them to be withdrawn
E. those of junior Archakas up to Rs 30,000, seeking the Archakas to withdraw the cases against it
A. Here the verb “seek” is used to mean “attempt or desire to obtain (something)” - that something here is the “withdrawal” and not the “Archakas”. The sentence implies that the board sought Archakas, but the intended meaning is that the board sought withdrawal of the cases. Such usage is acceptable for verbs such as “want” (Want someone to do something), but not for the verb “seek”.
B. Same error as described in point A - the object of the verb “seek” is “Archakas”, but the object should be “withdrawal”.
The pronouns “they” and “them” do not have a suitable antecedent.
C. CORRECT. The present participle modifier “seeking….” correctly refers to the subject of the preceding main clause “the Board decided…”.
The object of the verb “seek” is “withdrawal”, making it clear that the board sought withdrawal of the cases.
D. The object of the verb “seek” is “the cases”, but the object should be “withdrawal”.
The pronouns “they” and “them” do not have a suitable antecedent.
E. Same error as described in point A - the object of the verb “seek” is “Archakas”, but the object should be “withdrawal”.
