Suit For Injunction In Respect Of Immovable Property Not Abated On Death Of Parties: Karnataka High Court

Live Law  

The Karnataka High Court has said that in a suit relating to grant of injunction in respect of an immovable property, the right to sue is not personal to the plaintiff but survives to his legal representative and the suit for injunction would not therefore abate on the death of the parties. Referring to Section 2 of CPC, which is in regards to legal representatives, the bench said, "A person in whose favour the rights of a property devolve by operation of law or by way of a testament would be a legal representative since he acquires a right to intermeddle with the estate of the deceased. Thus, it is clear that in a suit relating to the grant of a perpetual injunction in respect of an immovable property, the right to sue is not personal to the plaintiff but survives to his legal representative and the suit for injunction would not therefore abate." The bench also referred to Section 306 of the Indian Succession Act and said that in a suit for injunction in relation to an immovable property, the legal representative of the deceased would enjoy the relief that the original party would have been entitled to by virtue of the succession or inheritance in their favour and thus the suit would not abate and would have to be continued by bringing the legal representatives of the deceased on record.
