THIS REGULAR FIRST APPEAL COMING ON FOR
ADMISSION THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER:
CORAM: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE R.DEVDAS
AND
THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE B. MURALIDHARA PAI
ORAL ORDER
(PER: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE R.DEVDAS)
It is seen from the records that the appeal as against
respondent No.15 stood abated vide order dated
12.09.2024. No further steps have been taken by the
appellants to set aside the abatement. This appeal arises
out of the suit for partition and defendant Nos.13 to 19 are
also entitled for their share and for separate possession in
respect of the properties which are allotted to their vendors.
2. Having regard to the recent judgment of the
Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of SURESH CHANDRA
(DECEASED) THROUGH LRS AND OTHERS VS PARASRAM &
OTHERS (2025 INSC 873), the appeal not only abates
against one respondent, it abates against all the
respondents also.
NC: 2025:KHC-D:15364-DB
HC-KAR
3. In that view of the matter, the Regular First
Appeal stands dismissed as abated.
