MANGLURAM vs SURREDDER SINGH .

The Supreme Court examined the application of Order 22 Rule 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure regarding the substitution of a legal representative after the death of a plaintiff. The Court held that the appellate court's decision to allow the appellant to be added as a legal representative was valid, as the registered will was sufficiently proved by an attesting witness. The Court overturned the High Court's ruling, affirming that the order of the trial court constituted a decree under Section 2(2) of the Code, thus allowing the appellant to continue the suit.
