Summary Suit against Legal Heirs

The court explains the simple factual matrix according to which section 50 does not refer to a particular type of decree. It is obvious that before the judgment is enforced, the debtor dies and that it has been transmitted to the legal representative. In the event that the third party legally recognizes the right to be a representative, enforcement may also be carried out against the legal heirs. In a situation where there was only one defendant and the right of action continues even after his death, or where there were several defendants in a civil proceeding, but the right of action belonged only to the deceased defendant, a party to the action may file an application within 90 days U/O XXII Rule 4 of the Code of Civil Procedure, to bring the legal representatives of the deceased. Respondent in the file. These legal representatives are considered defendants in the ongoing civil action as soon as the above-mentioned claim is filed. After careful consideration of Rule 4, it should be noted that the plaintiff in the action may also file a request for a file from the legal representative of the deceased defendant. In cases such as Dayaram v. Shyam Sundari and Mohd.

Sulaiman v. Mohd. Ismail, the court ruled that in the event that the holder of the judgment is no longer and the false legal representatives or not all legal representatives, then after the investigation in good faith, the decree will be registered and will determine that there has been no fraud or collusion. The decree is binding both for the false representative and for the legal representatives who were not present in court, i.e. the co-appointee. is the only representative present for the transmission and recorded for the broadcast. It is important to note that the essential elements of this doctrine of representation: There is a distinction between the two articles of the Code of Civil Procedure, in which Article 50 speaks of the death of the debtor during the lis pendens of the action and the legal representative of the debtor ensures that the creditor can obtain compensation. Considering that, according to Article 52, the succession has already been transferred to the legal representative and that the action for enforcement of the decision thus justified by the creditor is initiated. This is a common phenomenon in which the holder of the judgment dies, which can be problematic for the holder of the decree to allow him to receive his compensation. It may be during the duration of the dispute between the judicial debtor and the holder of the decree or after the death of the holder of the judgment, compensation must be obtained by the legal representative of the judicial debtor by enforcing the judgment against the legal representative. The law contributes to justice by explicitly stating in the 1908 Code of Civil Procedure that the legal representatives of the deceased are held liable on his behalf for the execution of the decree. The scope of liability is limited to property that the holder of the judgment has placed at the disposal of the legal representative and that has not been properly disposed of.

Death is an inevitable truth of human life. The fundamental purpose of any civil law system is to regulate human life and settle disputes over rights and duties between individuals, but what happens when the dispute involves deaths? Here, a legal system faces the challenge of bridging the gap between the living and the dead. It must consider a methodology that ensures respect for the rights of the living when these rights emanate from those who have already died. All of this must be done taking into account the great limitations of death in our quest for absolute justice. It is a permanent law that no prosecution can be brought against a person who has already died, but what if a defendant dies in a civil proceeding while a lawsuit is pending? The Code of Civil Procedure of 1908 deals with this question U/O XXII. LawSikho has created a telegram group for the exchange of legal knowledge, recommendations and various possibilities. You can click on this link and register: Sometimes a special situation arises when the death of a party occurs after the conclusion of the hearing, but before the final delivery of the judgment. Rule 6 of Order XXII eliminates any ambiguity in such a situation by clarifying that, regardless of the right to bring an action and waiving all other rules of Order XXII, the civil action cannot be terminated at the end of the hearing. A judgment rendered subsequently has the same force and effect if it had been rendered before the death of that party. This is a small reason you need to turn to the Supreme Court for Rivision if it`s in O.S. If the limitation period is not prescribed, you can bring a civil action against LRS of the deceased. Order XXII Rule 10A recognizes the duty of counsel for a deceased party to inform the court and the opposing party of such death and to register the legal heirs of the deceased.

Even if the contract between the party and the lawyer does not continue after the death of the client, but is deemed to continue to that extent. If we look through the above, we can clearly see that Ordinance XXII of the Code of Civil Procedure of 1908 deals exhaustively with the question of the death of an accused. The death of an accused relieves the defendant of personal liability by promoting the civil action, but if the cause of action persists even after the death of a defendant, the court ensures that no one is deprived of his or her right to contest his or her case in a fair trial by involving the deceased defendant`s legal representatives. Even if a defendant does not have legal representatives, the court may ensure that the claim is upheld by appointing a person capable of representing the deceased defendant`s case or by continuing the proceedings without a representative and using the defendant`s property to discharge his outstanding liability as a last resort. In cases where the cause of action was of a personal nature, the right of action does not subsist and the case cannot be continued, this rule is in accordance with the legal maxim “actio personalis moritur persona”, which means that a personal act with the person dies. If, for example, A brings an action against B for personal performance and B dies during the lis pendens of the action, that action cannot be continued and is eligible for aid. In the event that a defendant entitled to bring an action dies and the corresponding civil action is mitigated by the court, while the plaintiff was not aware of it and therefore did not file an application for U/O 22 Rule 4, 1963, within the prescribed limitation period, i.e. 90 days under section 120 of the Limitation Act.

The plaintiff may submit an application U/S 5 of the Limitation Act 1963 in which he must explain why such an error occurred and prove that the delay was of a bony nature. If the court is satisfied, it may allow the plaintiff to register the legal representatives of the deceased defendant at a later date.
