Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's judgment regarding Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure was erroneous, as the suit was not maintainable under this provision due to the plaintiffs' failure to seek specific reliefs outlined in Section 92(1). The Court clarified that the maintainability of a suit under Section 92 depends solely on the plaint's allegations, not on the written statement. The appeal was allowed, affirming that the suit did not abate upon the death of one plaintiff since it was filed in a representative capacity, following the precedent in Raja Anand Rao.
