What did the court decide?
Although steps had been taken to bring the legal representatives of deceased respondents 1 and 4 on record, no progress was possible in the appeal unless the legal heirs of the appellant (who died on 13.12.2022) were impleaded; since no such steps were taken, the appeal stands abated. ¶43
