DHAJA RAM vs KASHI RAM (D) BY LRS. — C.A. No. 6711/2001

Case Summary: C.A. No. 006711/2001 (Dhaja Ram v. Kashi Ram) On 24 September 2001, the Supreme Court allowed Dhaja Ram's appeal, granting special leave and setting aside the High Court's order of abatement. The High Court had rejected Ram's application for condonation of delay in substituting a respondent who died on 20 May 1998 (substitution application filed 12 August 1999), causing the writ petition to be abated. The Supreme Court found the cause shown for delay was sufficient, condoned the delay, allowed the substitution application, and directed the High Court to decide the writ petition on merits. No order as to costs was made. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
