He also added that the second defendant is only a tenant of the property. The said statement is recorded. Inasmuch as the first plaintiff/decree holder before the First Appellate Court has passed away and inasmuch as the right sought is one for office, nothing can survive beyond the date of death of the first plaintiff.

¶21

3 . Having said that, the appellant has not taken any steps to implead such successor to the office to sustain this appeal. There is no representation for the appellant. Hence, this Second Appeal is dismissed for default. No costs. Consequently, connected M.P(MD). No.1 of 2011 is closed.
