THIS RFA IS FILED UNDER SECTION 96 OF CPC., AGAINST
THE JUDGMENT AND DECREE DATED 07.04.2017 PASSED IN
O.S.NO.6/2017 ON THE FILE OF THE SENIOR CIVIL JUDGE, HALIYAL,
DECREEING THE SUIT FILED FOR PARTITION AND SEPARATE
POSSESSION.
THIS APPEAL, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY,
SREENIVAS HARISH KUMAR J., DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
ORDER
Learned counsel for the appellants files a memo
reporting payment of costs of Rs.1,000/-. So far applications
to bring on record the legal representatives of respondent
Nos.4A, 4C, 14, 15 and 16 have not been filed. All these
respondents were the defendants in a suit for partition. The
cause of action for the suit appears to be joint and hence in
NC: 2023:KHC-D:8343-DB
RFA No. 100206 of 2017
view of death of respondent Nos.4A, 4C, 14, 15 and 16,
appeal against them abates and consequently entire appeal
abates.
