Rattan Chand & Ors vs Mori (D) By L.R. & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to allow Soma Devi to come on record as the legal representative of the deceased Mori Devi, emphasizing that the delay in filing the application was condoned with costs imposed. The Court noted that the appellants could not challenge the order permitting Soma Devi to pursue the appeal after agreeing to the payment of costs. The High Court's findings regarding occupancy tenancy were also affirmed, establishing that the original tenant's rights should prevail in the absence of evidence justifying a change in tenancy status.
