The Text below is only a summarized version of the order pronounced

The appellant was defendant in suit for perpetual injunction and during the pendancy of the second
appeal the respondents died and the fact was not communicated to the appellant. The application for
substitution of legal representatives was rejected by the High Court as the appeal was abated. The
Apex Court held that there was no finding that the appellant was guilty of any laches or that he
purposely delayed in making the application for substitution. Hence, the matter was remanded back
to High Court for fresh disposal after bringing the legal representatives of respondents on record.
