casestatus.in Summary
When a suit abates due to non-substitution of legal representatives, and successive restoration applications are dismissed for procedural non-compliance, the legatee under a will has no independent right to revive the abated proceedings — leaving only such other remedies as may be available in law. As analyzed on casestatus.in, a legatee's right to contest is co-extensive with the suit's survivability, and abatement extinguishes the proceedings.
