Dear,

If Plaintiff and Defendant both have died before framing of issues,

then legal heirs of both the parties, became the parties in that case.

Their legal heirs has to be impleaded as parties to continue the proceedings.

The death of the parties to the suit does not alter the fate of the case in any manner whatsoever.

So the legal heirs of the plaintiff and defendant can apply for substitution of their names in place of the deceased party by filing an application under Order 22 Rule 4 of CPC.

This is permissible of the party dies at any stage of suit including during the appeal stage.

if the legal heirs would like to continue the case and claim their succession rights they can very well file a petition to implead themselves as legal representatives of the deceased plaintiff and continue the suit from the place where it was stopped.

It is for the legal representatives of the deceased defendant to defend their interests and go ahead with the case.

There legal representative should file application under order 22 rule 2 of Code of Civil Procedure to bring on record.

Hi

Subsequent to the demise of both plaintiff and Defendant in a suit for specific performance the next steps would be to

a) Make an application to the court that the right to sue survives and hence it is mandatory that the legal heirs are impleaded in the suit and

b) Implead the Legal Heirs of both Plaintiff and Defendant under Order 22 Rule 4 of CPC and

c) Once the legal heirs are Impleaded the court will issue notices to Legal Heirs and

d) Case will continue as is usual once the Legal Heirs are impleaded as parties.

e) In the event of legal heirs not participating in the suit, the court will proceed against the legal heirs and pass ex-parte orders which will be binding on legal heirs.

Hope this information is useful.

Both the parties or either of the same can move an application for the impleadment of their name as legal heir in the suit.

Apply for the legal heir certificate also before the SDM of your area.

The case can be run on their legal heirs names.

Their legal heirs can be brought on record by making application in court.

If both the parties are died and the legal representatives of the parties are want to implead himself then legal representatives should move an impleadment application for substitution of their names in the suit. If legal representatives are not interested to carry on this civil suit then they can withdraw the case. After death of the parties the civil suit will be carried on only on the leave of legal representatives. If legal representatives desire to carry on the preceding they can implead themselves otherwise withdraw the case.
