THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.SRINIVAS SECOND APPEAL No.1135 of 2005
JUDGMENT:
Heard Sri V.V.Raghavaiah, learned counsel representing Sri P.Hema Chandra, learned counsel for the appellant and Sri D.Krishna Murthy, learned counsel for respondent No.1.
2. On 14.08.2025, this Court passed the following order:
“None appeared for the appellant.
Learned counsel for the respondents is present.
On the other day i.e., on 22.07.2025 itself, it was submitted that the sole plaintiff died on 04.10.2011 i.e., about 13 years back. On such submission, this Court passed the following order:-
“It is brought to the notice of this Court that LR petition, said to be filed into Court, was said to be returned on 18.03.2025 and the same was not re-submitted. It is also brought to the notice of this Court that the sole plaintiff died on 04.10.2011 i.e., about 13 years back. Even now, they did not prefer to bring the LRs on record to give final disposal of the appeal. List the matter on 29.07.2025, on which date, if the LRs are not brought on record, this matter will be dismissed.”
The matter was listed on 29.07.2025. On that day also, no steps were taken by the learned counsel for the appellant to bring on record the legal representatives of the sole plaintiff in this case.
So, this appeal is proceeding against a dead person.
In these circumstances, list the matter on 29.08.2025 under the caption „for dismissal‟.”
3. It is also clear that the sole plaintiff died on 04.10.2011, so far no steps have been taken, that too in a suit for partition. Thereby, on that ground alone, this appeal is liable to be dismissed as

abated. Apart from that, it is a settled position of law that the 4th defendant, who is the appellant herein is entitled to work out his equities to the extent of the share of defendants 1 to 3 in the final decree proceedings. In these circumstances, nothing survives in this appeal.
4. Therefore, the Second Appeal is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions, if any pending, shall stand closed.
