Order 22 Rule 10A CPC | Mere Intimation of Death Insufficient; Disclosure of Legal Representatives Mandatory to Prevent Suit Abatement : MP HC Jabalpur
The Madhya Pradesh High Court holds that filing a mere notice of a party's death under Order 22 Rule 10A CPC does not prevent suit abatement - legal representatives must be formally disclosed within the 90-day window. This clarifies a critical procedural gap affecting landlords, heirs, and litigants in eviction and property disputes where defendant succession is unclear.
