KAJOMA KUMARI vs THE UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court held that in cases involving compensation claims, all legal heirs of the deceased must be joined in the litigation to ensure fair adjudication. The Court set aside the High Court's order which dismissed the appeal due to the absence of some heirs, emphasizing the necessity of their inclusion for a just resolution. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court was directed to decide the matter on its merits after joining all legal heirs.
