Srivastava, learned counsel for the petitioner.<br \/>\n       Facts giving rise to the dispute are as under.\n<\/p>\n<p>       Original Suit No. 173 of 2003 was filed by one Indra Pal @ Indal on<br \/>\n17.04.2003 seeking cancellation of the sale deed dated 24.03.2003 said to have<br \/>\nbeen executed in favour of the petitioner. The petitioner-defendant put his<br \/>\nappearance and filed written statement. One of the objection raised was that Indra<br \/>\nPal @ Indal had died on 11.04.2003, hence, the suit in the name of a dead person<br \/>\nwas not maintainable. One of the issues framed by the trial court was as under.\n<\/p>\n<p>       &#8221; Whether plaintiff Indra Pal @ Indal was already dead before he filed suit. If<br \/>\nthe answer is in affirmative, what is the effect?&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>       The aforesaid issue was decided as a preliminary issue and the trial court held<br \/>\nthat Indra Pal @ Indal had died on 11.04.2003 and dismissed the suit as not<br \/>\nmaintainable as the plaintiff was already dead on the date of institution of the suit.<br \/>\nThe respondents claiming to be heirs went up in appeal. Appellate court vide order<br \/>\ndated 25.11.2009 admitted the appeal. Aggrieved, the petitioner-defendant has<br \/>\napproached this Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>       It has been urged by the learned counsel for the petitioner that since the suit<br \/>\nfiled in the name of a dead person had no existence in the eyes of law, as such, the<br \/>\nappeal challenging the order was not maintainable and the appellants since were not<br \/>\nparty in the suit, no appeal was maintainable at their behest.\n<\/p>\n<p>       I have considered the argument advanced on behalf of the petitioner and<br \/>\nperused the record.\n<\/p>\n<p>       Admittedly, the suit was dismissed on the ground that that on the date of<br \/>\nfiling of the suit, the plaintiff was already dead. The issue before the appellate court<br \/>\nwas whether the finding recorded by the trial court that Indra Pal @ Indal died on<br \/>\n11.04.2003 prior to institution of suit was correct or not.\n<\/p>\n<p>       In view of above, it cannot be said that the appeal filed by the heirs of the<br \/>\nplaintiff challenging the said finding of the trial court would not be maintainable, for<br \/>\nin case, the findings of the trial court is found to be vitiated and liable to be set<br \/>\naside, the suit would be maintainable and liable to be continued.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                           2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      In view of above, no illegality appears to have been committed by the lower<br \/>\nappellate court in admitting the appeal and overruling the objection raised by the<br \/>\npetitioner that the suit itself being not maintainable the appeal could not be filed or<br \/>\nthe appellants being not a party in the suit the appeal at their behest was not<br \/>\nmaintainable.\n<\/p>\n<p>      The writ petition, accordingly, fails and stands dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>08.01.2010<br \/>\nVKS\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allahabad High Court Ram Swaroop vs Raghuveer And Another on 8 January, 2010 Court No. 4 Writ Petition No. 523 of 2010 Ram Swaroop &#8212;&#8212;- Petitioner Versus Raghuveer &amp; Anr. &#8212;&#8212;- Respondents Hon&#8217;ble Krishna Murari, J.
