RATTAN CHAND vs MORI (D) BY L.R. .

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 appellants had accepted the order by paying costs. The Court noted that the High Court had correctly restored the second appeal after finding that the original abatement was unjustified due to the lack of evidence supporting the inclusion of Durga as a non-occupancy tenant. The Court reaffirmed the principle that a decree cannot be granted in favor of a deceased person without a legal representative on record, as per established procedural norms.
