The trial Court decreed the suit by granting a share to defendant No.1 and his children, but not granted any share to the appellant herein, who is the wife of defendant No.1. Hence, the appellant herein, who is the wife of defendant No.1, filed an appeal before the First Appellate Court which also came to be dismissed. Hence, this appeal. 3. In view of the death of appellant, who is the wife of defendant No.1, and the other respondents-defendants are the children of the appellant and they have already obtained the - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:926 RSA No. 498 of 2022 decree in their favour and since there is no decree in favour of the appellant, the present appellant is dead. 4.
