Sakharam Since Deceased Through L.Rs vs Kishanrao

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of abatement of a civil appeal due to the death of a respondent. The court found that the High Court's dismissal of the Second Appeal for abatement was incorrect, as the appellants had not been given an opportunity to set aside the abatement. The Supreme Court allowed the appeals and directed the High Court to consider the application to set aside abatement on merits.
