Sir

As the subject of the suit is not clear it not possible for me without looking into the papers and partnership deed and the knowing who are the new partners.

And the first suit was dismissed in 1995 and revived in 2015 is not matching.

Thanks

Suit was dismissed in 1995

2) there is delay of 20 years in filing application for setting aside order of dismissal

3) under the Transfer of Property Act (the T.P. Act), the transferee acquires all the rights, of his transferor

4) lessee can as transferree can revive the suit but delay of over 20 years may not be condoned by court

The suit dismissed for default in the year 1995 can not be revived in the year 2017.

There must be gross irregularity or the actual turn of event are not properly reported here,

So if you show the papers related to the documents I can advise further and provide line foa ction.

If you need further assistance on defending the suit with proper strategy to counter this suit, you may feel free to contact.

The case has been recayafter 20 year, challenge this order before the appellate court, it being barred by time.

Also before recalling the order you should have been given the opportunity of hearing.

Dear Client,

Suit was not dismissed on merit but on failure to be substituted , hence maintainable. ( Dismissal Order ? )

Terms of the partnership is important and if all the partners died/retired before reconstitution than its not valid as it is already dissolved.

Terms of previous partnership needed for better solution.

The partnership deed is to be read and understood about the conditions of running the partnership firm after the death of the partners.

If the firm can be run by new partners then they have rights to file this restoration petition.

They can fight the case on behalf and in the interest of the partnership firm
