Which of the following statements is correct?
-
Where on the death of a defendant the right to sue survivers against the other surviving defendant alone, the case may proceed against the surviving defendant.
-
Where on the death of a defendant the right to sue does not survive against the other surviving defendant alone, the case shall abate against the deceased defendant it no application is made within the time limited by law for the legal representative of the deceased defendant to be made a party.
-
There shall be no abatement by reason of death of either party between the conclusion of the hearing and the pronouncing of the judgment.
-
All of these
Order 22 Rule 1 CPC provides for substitution of legal representatives when a defendant dies. If right to sue survives against remaining defendants, case proceeds against them alone (Option A). If right does not survive, case abates unless application is made within time limit for legal representative to be made party (Option B). Order 23 Rule 1 states no abatement occurs between conclusion of hearing and pronouncing judgment (Option C). All three statements correctly reflect CPC provisions on death of parties.
