This chamber summons is taken out to bring heirs of the plaintiff on record. The plaintiff died on 10.12.2007 and this application is filed so as to bring applicants on record as plaintiffs. : 2 : 2. I have heard learned Advocates appearing on behalf of the applicants as well as defendants. 3. No formal affidavit-in-reply is filed to oppose this chamber summons. I have perused the affidavit in support of the chamber summons. The record indicates that Mr.Indrakumar Ramchandra Gupta, the person who was managing the affairs of the plaintiff is keeping unwell and as such he could not attend to the matter which resulted in delay in bringing heirs on record. 4. In my view, in the interest of justice, the applicants can be permitted to step into the shoes of the plaintiff. 5. Accordingly, application for bringing applicants on record as plaintiffs is granted. Naturally, the delay in taking out these proceedings also will have to be condoned. Hence, the order :- O R D E R O R D E R O R D E R a) Chamber summons is made absolute in terms of prayer clauses (a) and (b). : 3 : b) There shall be no order as to costs. c) Applicants/plaintiffs to carry out amendment within 10 days from today and serve copy of the amended plaint on the Advocate appearing for defendants with 10 days from the date of carrying out the amendment. 6. For the time being, suit is adjourned to 20.8.2008, under the caption "For Directions". (R.Y. GANOO,J.) (R.Y. GANOO,J.) (R.Y. GANOO,J.)
