Hazarika, learned counsel for the applicant. Also heard Mr. N. H. Barbhuiya, learned counsel for the respondents. 2. The present interlocutory application has been filed under Order XXII Rule 9 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, praying for setting aside the abatement that has occurred in respect of deceased/appellant in the connected RSA No. Page No.# 5/6 56/2016. 3. It appears from the materials on record that during the pendency of the connected RSA No. 56/2016, the deceased/appellant, i.e., Md. Abdul Karim Mazarbhuiya, expired, leaving behind the following legal heirs: 1. Sorful Nessa Laskar- Wife, 2. Amrul Hoque Mazarbhuiya- Son, 3. Kamrul Hoque Mazarbhuiya- Son, 4. Nazmul Hoque Mazarbhuiya- Son, 5. Rustana Begum Laskar- Daughter, 6. Salma Begum Mazarbhuiya- Daughter, 7. Rajmin Sultana Laskar- Daughter, 8. Fatima Begom Mazarbhuiya- Daughter. 4. I have considered the submissions advanced by the learned counsel for the parties and have also perused the materials available on record. 5. From the explanation furnished in the application, this Court is satisfied that the delay in bringing the legal heirs of the deceased respondent on record does not appear to be deliberate or mala fide. 6. In the circumstances, and upon being satisfied that sufficient cause has been shown, the abatement that occurred on account of the death of deceased/appellant No. 8 in RSA No. 56/2016 is hereby set aside. 7. The applicant shall take necessary steps for substitution of the legal heirs of the deceased respondent in accordance with law. Page No.# 6/6 8. With the above observations and directions, the interlocutory application stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
