CORAM: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE R.DEVDAS
AND
THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MURALIDHARA PAI B
ORAL ORDER
(PER: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE R.DEVDAS)
We see from the order dated 20.11.2024 that this
Regular First Appeal has been dismissed as abated
against respondent Nos. 2 and 3. The said order was
passed after taking note of the fact that the death of
respondent Nos. 2 and 3 were brought to the notice of
this Court, as reflected in the postal endorsement dated
09.06.2023. Till date, no steps have been taken by the
appellants against the said order dated 20.11.2024.
2. Since the present appeal arises out of a suit for
partition, we are constrained to hold that the entire
appeal stands abated, in view of the law laid down by the
Hon'ble Supreme Court in Suresh Chandra (deceased)
Thr. L.Rs. and Others v. Parasram and Others,
NC: 2025:KHC-D:13744-DB
HC-KAR
reported in 2025 INSC 873. Accordingly, the Regular
First Appeal stands dismissed as abated.
