If in any case where right to sue does not survive the suit will come to an end. The most essential element which affects the abetment of a suit after the death of party is the survival of right to sue; if that is there then the suit can be continued. The general rule is that suits and actions must be prosecuted by and against living parties. If a person against whom a personal action may be brought dies before suit papers naming such person as defendant have been filed with the court, then such suit papers may be amended to substitute the decedent’s personal representative as party defendant.[1] Enactments setting up procedure for revival seeks to prevent the arbitrary cessation of a proceeding where the cause of action survives and provide for substitution of the personal representative or other proper party and the continuation of the matter in that party’s name. Upon the death of an indispensable party, the action abates until the deceased party’s estate, or other appropriate legal representative, has been substituted.[2] A deceased person cannot be a party to a legal proceeding and the effect of the death is to suspend the action as to the decedent until his or her legal representative is substituted as a party. A deceased person cannot be a party to legal proceedings.”While the death of a party does not abate a pending action where the cause of action survives, nevertheless the effect of the death is to suspend the action as to the decedent until someone is substituted for the decedent as a party to the Upto 10,000 OFF on Flights Limited Period Offer | Valid on All Airlines | Plan Your Vacations & Save More!

Until someone is properly substituted as a party after the action is thus suspended, further proceedings in the case are void as to the decedent.”[3] Abetment: Considering the matter of the abatement of an action by the death of a party, as well as the survival and revival of the action, there is a clear difference between the action and the cause of action; a cause of action may survive although a particular action based on it is abated by the death of a party. Abatement, in law, means discontinuation, cessation, destruction, or elimination. The term is used in several different contexts. Abatement of an action is the cessation of a particular judicial proceeding because of some fact not affecting the merits of the controversy. The commonest grounds for abatement are the pendency of another suit or the death of a party. To abate a later suit, the pending suit must be in the same jurisdiction, with the same parties and legal issues. At common law, death of a party abated an action but did not necessarily extinguish the legal right on which it depended. Other grounds for abatement of actions are defects of the parties (such as misnomer or incapacity); lack of jurisdiction of the court; dissolution of a corporation; premature commencement of an action; and transfer of a party's interest in the lawsuit. There are two types of parties involved in a lawsuit: plaintiffs and defendants. The party who initiates a lawsuit is called the plaintiff. The party against whom an action is brought is the defendant. The plaintiff claims relief, usually monetary, or recovery against the defendant. Laws relating to abatement vary from state to state. The premature ending of a suit before final adjudication is called abatement of an action. If reasons for abating a suit are not apparent on the pleading filed by the plaintiff, the defendant can move to abate the case. However, if the defendant fails to claim for abetment in his/her answer, the defence will be waived. Court considers a plea for abatement of an action before proclaiming a judgment as a judgment on the plea may affect the final decision in the case. Right to sue: A personal action dies with the person, is derivation and source of Latin maxim Actio personalis moritur cum persona Right to sue, other than closely connected with the individuality of the deceased, always survives to or against his legal representatives. There is a simple experiment to check as to when and how a right to sues survives regardless of the death of a party. There are cases where the plaintiffs mostly sue with regard to some claim which is associated with or vests in their individuality. A suit for damages falls under that nature. If a plaintiff dies during the pendency of suit for damages, the right to sue, which can also be termed as a right to seek relief, would not survive but if he succeeds in getting, a decree for damages and dies during the pendency of his opponent’s appeal, the right would of course survive to his legal representatives. In case of the survival of right to sue the suits do not abate on death of a party but the impleadment or substitution of his legal heirs becomes incumbent within the period of 90 days. This is so because the surviving right has now become vested in the legal heirs. So long as a right is referable to the individuality of a person, it does not survive at the death of that person. The general rule is that all causes of action and all demands whatsoever existing in favour of or against a person at the time of his death survive to or against his legal representatives. This principle is found enacted in the Succession Act as well, with the only exception that rights intimately connected with the individuality of the deceased will not survive based on the famous maxim actio personalis moritur cum personal– a personal right of action dies with the person. A right to sue, other than intimately connected with the individuality of the deceased, will always, survive to or against his legal representatives. No abatement by the death of parties: 1. Death of plainti: Where the sole plaintiff dies, the suit will not abate, if the right to sue survives. It can be continued by the heirs and the legal representatives of the deceased plaintiff. If the right to sue does not survive, the suit will come to an end.[4] Where one of several plaintiffs dies and the right to sue survives to the surviving plaintiff or plaintiffs, the court will make an entry to that effect and proceed with the suit by the surviving plaintiff or plaintiffs [5] Top Email:   BhagwatiDanCharan@legalserviceindia.com Website:   http://www.

This proposed amendment is already creating a furore. Like · Reply · 19 · 6y Mallikarjuna Sharma That is quite insane proposal. Self-acquired property can be disposed of at will - is the established law and this contradicts it. Even if elements of social or public interest are there, those should not totally drown the established law. The maintenance provisions should be made more stringent and adequate by reform but not such divesting of property for a song. Oldest Add a comment...
