STATE OF GUJARAT vs SAYED MOHD. BAQUIR EL EDROSS

The Supreme Court held that the appeal abated due to the death of the sole respondent, as no application to bring legal representatives on record was made within the stipulated 90 days under Article 121 of the Limitation Act. The Court found no sufficient cause for condoning the delay in filing the application, which was made over three months late. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed as the abatement prevented the merits of the case from being considered.
