appeal abatement case

In Suresh Chandra (Deceased) vs. Parasram, the Supreme Court dealt with the legal implications of failing to substitute the legal representatives of a deceased co-appellant in a second appeal. The High Court had dismissed the appeal due to abatement caused by non-substitution. The Court rejected the appellants' plea for condonation of delay, emphasizing the importance of diligent procedural conduct. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court’s order and reinforcing procedural rigour in civil appeals.
