SHAHAZADA BI vs HALIMABI (DEAD) BY LRS. — C.A. No. 5507/1999

Summary of Shahazada Bi v. Halimabi (CA 5507/1999) The Supreme Court dismissed the defendants' appeal, upholding the High Court's judgment that the suit abated only against the deceased defendant no.4, not entirely. Since each defendant possessed separate, independent rooms with distinct interests, the relief was severable, allowing the trial court's decree for possession against defendants 1-3 to stand. The Court held that partial abatement doesn't require total dismissal when parties have clearly demarcated, separate interests.
