Alok Singh, J.(Oral) As per report of the Registry, respondents No.2, 5, 6 and 7 are duly served. Respondents No.1, 3 and 4 are reported to have died. However, in view of the fact that respondent No.2 is the real brother of the deceased respondent and respondents No.5 to 7 are nephew of the deceased, I propose to decide the present petition with the observation that question of substitution of deceased parties to the suit shall be taken into consideration by the trial Court. By the impugned order, the trial Court has dismissed the application moved by the petitioners under Order 9 Rule 7 CPC, having CR No. 4456 of 2010 2 observed that defendants - petitioners herein remained absent during the appeal and after remand they are not entitled to be given opportunity of being heard on merits. In the opinion of this Court, after remand of the suit by the Appellate Court, suit has to be decided afresh in accordance with the observations and directions of Appellate Court. Every defendant, after remand of the suit by the Appellate Court, has every legal right to defend himself. Undisputedly, hearing of the suit after remand has not concluded so far. Consequently, impugned order is set aside. Application filed under Order 9 Rule 7 CPC stands allowed. The trial Court shall proceed in accordance with law. Petitioners shall pay Rs.5000/- as costs to the respondent before the next date fixed before the trial Court. Petition stands disposed of. ( Alok Singh ) Judge 16.11.2010 sk.
