Suresh Chandra(Deceased) Thr. Lrs vs Parasram

The Supreme Court examined the issue of abatement of a civil appeal due to non-substitution of legal representatives within time. The High Court had declared the appeal to have abated and rejected applications for condonation of delay and substitution. The Court analyzed whether the delay could be condoned and the appeal revived, emphasizing procedural fairness and the rights of legal heirs. Ultimately, the Court's decision clarified the conditions under which abatement can be set aside and legal representatives substituted.
