RADHEY SHYAM JAISWAL(DEAD) & ORS. vs SMT. RAM DULARI DEVI & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that under Section 47 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the sons of Raghunandan Ram were liable for their father's debts, allowing the decree-holder to execute the decree against the entire half share of the ancestral property. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision that the heirs could be treated as parties in the execution proceedings without needing to formally add them as legal representatives. The Court upheld the execution of the sale of the property after the sons defaulted on their payment obligations under a compromise agreement.
