JUSTICE DEVASHIS BARUAH ORDER 06.05.2025 By this present order, this Court would dispose of all these interlocutory applications. 2. Misc Case No. 3414/2010 is an application filed seeking condonation of delay of 136 days in filing the application for setting aside the abatement of the Respondent No. Page No.# 26/29 3 to the accompanying appeal. 3. Misc Case No. 3415/2010 is an application filed for substitution of the Legal Representatives of the Respondent No. 3. 4. Misc Case No. 3416/2010 is an application filed for setting aside the abatement in so far as the Respondent No. 3 is concerned. 5. It is seen from these applications that service has been duly effected upon the said Legal Representatives and none have opposed the substitution. 6. Considering the above, the delay in filing the application seeking setting aside of the abatement as well as the application seeking aside of the abatement, stands allowed. Accordingly, the Respondent No. 3 herein, is substituted by his Legal Representatives, the details of which have been given in Paragraph No. 3 of the application being Misc Case No. 3415/2010 and they are arrayed to the accompanying appeal as Respondent Nos. 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4. 7. Misc Case No. 2175/2012 is an application filed for substitution of the Appellant No. 1, who had expired on 13.12.2010, by the applicant Nos. 1(a), 1(b), 1 (c), 1(d) and 1 (e). 8. Misc Case No. 2176/2012 is an application filed for addition of the applicants, inasmuch, as upon the death of the Appellant No. 6, her legal representatives are on record, i.e., the Appellant Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5, who represent the estate of the Appellant No. 6, but the daughters were not made parties to the said suit, upon whom rights also Page No.# 27/29 devolved upon the death of the Appellant No. 6, who was the mother. 9. It is also relevant to take note of that IA(Civil) No. 1764/2020, is an application filed seeking condonation of delay of 1826 days in filing the application for substitution of the legal heirs of the Appellant No. 1, who expired on 13.12.2010. 10. This Court taking into account that the Appellant No. 1 expired on 13.12.2010 and the application being Misc Case No. 2175/2012 was filed on 16.07.2012, is of the opinion that the delay that would be attributed is around a year. 11. This Court has heard the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the parties in these applications and taking into account that the appeal is presently continuing and the provisions of Order XXII is for the purpose of continuation of the suit, it is, therefore, necessary that the Appellant No. 1 is substituted by his legal representatives by condoning the delay. Accordingly, IA (Civil) No. 1764/2020, is allowed by condoning the delay and MC No. 2175/2012 is allowed by substituting the applicants to the accompanying appeal as Appellant Nos. 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5. The IA(Civil) No. 1765/2020, which is for setting aside the abatement of Appellant No. 1, is also allowed. Likewise, the application being MC No. 2176/2012, being an application under Order I Rule 10 of the Code, the applicants are added by striking out the Appellant No. 6 to the accompanying appeal as Appellant Nos. 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4. MC No. 2176/2012, is accordingly, disposed of. 12. Now, let this Court take note of the applications, being IA (Civil) No. 1697/2022 Page No.# 28/29 and IA(Civil) No. 1698/2022. IA(C) No. 1697/2022 is an application for setting aside the abatement, in so far as the Respondent No. 1, who expired on 04.10.2020. IA(C) No. 1698/2022 is an application filed for substitution of the legal representatives of the Respondent No. 1, whose names have been duly mentioned in paragraph No. 3 of the said application. This Court has duly taken note of that the Respondent No. 1 expired on 04.10.2020, and the applications were filed on 04.06.2022. 13. In view of the order being passed by the Supreme Court, exempting the period of limitation, this Court is of the opinion that the application so filed for substitution of the legal representatives of the Respondent No. 1, is within the period of limitation, and accordingly, both the applications stand allowed, thereby substituting the Respondent No. 1 by his legal representatives, whose names have been duly mentioned at paragraph No. 3, in IA(Civil) No. 1698/2022. Accordingly, the Respondent No. 1 is substituted by his legal representative, whose names are mentioned at paragraph No. 3 of application, being IA(C) No. 1698/2022 and arrayed in the accompanying appeal as Respondent Nos. 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4. 14. The three interlocutory applications, being IA(Civil) No. 1464/2024, 1465/2024 and 1466/2024, are applications seeking condonation of delay in setting aside the abatement, in so far as the Respondent No. 5, who expired on 23.07.2022; for setting aside the said abatement and for substitution of the legal representatives of the Respondent No. 5, whose names have been mentioned in paragraph No. 2 of the Page No.# 29/29 application, being IA(C) No. 1464/2024. 15. It is relevant to take note of that during the pendency of the instant appeal, the service upon the Respondent No. 5 could not be effected and consequently, the Appellants were not in know of the death of the Respondent No. 5. 16. Taking into account the above, the delay of 392 days in filing application for setting aside the abatement, in so far as the Respondent No. 5 is concerned, is condoned; the abatement, in so far as the Respondent No. 5 is concerned, is set aside and the legal representatives of the Respondent No. 5, whose names have been duly mentioned in paragraph No. 2 of the application being IA(C) No. 1464/2024, are substituted against the Respondent No. 5 and arrayed in the accompanying appeal as Respondent Nos. 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4. 17. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Appellants, is directed to file a fresh memo of parties within 7 (seven) days from today, before the Registry of this Court and the Registry shall, on the basis of the said memo of parties, as well as the present order, make necessary changes in the Cause Title and update the same in the CIS.
