Order
(2 of 3) [CW-3462/2017]
ORDER RESERVED ON :: 01.12.2022
ORDER PRONOUNCED ON :: 12.12.2022
This Civil Writ Petition under Article 227 of the
Constitution Of India has been filed against the orders dated
27.04.2016 and 02.06.2016 passed by learned Additional District
& Sessions Judge No.1, Sikar (hereinafter referred to as 'learned
trial Court).
Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the
respondent Nos.1 & 2 had filed a civil suit against the petitioners.
Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that the
respondent No.2 Vimal Kumar died on 22.05.2014. After that,
respondent No.1 had filed an application under Order 22 Rule 1
and 2 CPC that by way of oral settlement, Vimal Kumar has
released all his rights in the suit property in favour of respondent
No.1 and prayed to delete the name of Vimal Kumar from array of
cause-title. Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits
that at that time, petitioners had filed an application under Order
22 Rule 3 and 9 CPC that the suit stands abated as a whole on
account of not filing the application within time by respondent
No.1 for taking the legal heirs of respondent No.2 on record but
learned trial Court vide order dated 27.04.2016 allowed the
application filed by the respondent No.1 and dismissed the
application filed by the petitioners. Learned counsel for the
petitioners further submits that the learned trial Court failed to
appreciate the mandatory legal provision of order 22 Rule 3 and 9
CPC and the suit stands abated automatically. No application filed
by the respondent No.1 for setting-aside the abatement. Learned
counsel for the petitioners further submits that the suit property is
(3 of 3) [CW-3462/2017]
ancestral property of the respondent Nos.1 & 2 and the
petitioners. So, as per the legal requirement, legal heirs of the
respondent No.2 Vimal Kumar be brought on record within
limitation. So, order of the learned trial Court be set-aside.
Learned counsel for the petitioners has placed reliance
upon the judgments passed by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case
of Municipal Council Mandsaur Vs. Fakirchand and another
reported in AIR 1997 SC 1251 and in the case of Babu
Sukhram Singh Vs. Ram Dular Singh & Others reported in
AIR 1973 SC 204.
None present on behalf of the respondents after service
of notice.
I have considered the arguments advanced by learned
counsel for the petitioners and perused the impugned order.
Learned trial Court in its order clearly stated that where
there are several plaintiffs and on account of death of the one
plaintiff, right to sue survive in the remaining plaintiffs. So, in my
considered opinion, learned trial Court had not committed any
error in allowing the application filed by the respondents and
dismissing the application filed by the petitioners. So, present
petition is being devoid of merits and liable to be dismissed.
Hence, this Civil Writ Petition stands dismissed.
All pending applications stand disposed of.
