NARAINDAS LILARAM ADNANI vs NARSINGDAS NARAINDAS ADNANI & ORS.

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of substitution of legal representatives under Order 22 Rule 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, noting that the Will of the deceased appellant had not been probated as per Section 213 of the Indian Succession Act. The Court held that while the executor of the Will could not be impleaded due to the lack of probate, the legal representatives were already on record, allowing for the transposition of the 9th respondent as the appellant. The judgment clarified the procedural aspects of arbitration and the implications of the unprobated Will on the legal standing of the parties involved.
