Final Judgment
No
The court dismissed the petition filed by the 2nd plaintiff for substitution as the legal representative of the deceased 3rd plaintiff. It was found that proper legal heirs were not impleaded, making the petition legally defective.
Key Reasoning:
The petition was found to be not maintainable due to the failure to implead necessary legal heirs and the absence of the partnership deed.
The petition was found to be not maintainable due to the failure to implead necessary legal heirs and the absence of the partnership deed.
Why Defendant Won:
The petition was found to be not maintainable due to the failure to implead necessary legal heirs and the absence of the partnership deed.
The petition was found to be not maintainable due to the failure to implead necessary legal heirs and the absence of the partnership deed.
Supporting Evidence
The failure to implead the sons of the deceased plaintiff is a fatal defect. Further, without the partnership deed, the Court cannot be satisfied that the surviving partner is entitled to step into the shoes of the deceased.
Judgment Evidence:
In the result, the petition is dismissed. The plaintiffs are at liberty to file a fresh petition for impleading the actual legal heirs of the deceased 3rd plaintiff, strictly in accordance with law, within the time permissible under the Code of Civil Procedure.
