Mr. Joshi, learned Counsel appearing for the appellants submitted that the appeal does not abate on account of deletion of the above referred respondents, and in support of his submission, Mr. Joshi relied upon the following judgments reported in AIR 2008 SC 1462; Mohd. Hussain (Dead) by L.Rs. and Others Vs. V. Occhavlal and others and AIR 1990 SC 1980; Hasan Ali and others Vs. State of U. P. and others. Mr. Joshi thereafter submitted that in the event this Court holds that the appeal is incompetent, the appellants be permitted to issue notices to the deleted respondents by allowing MCA Nos.607/2010 and 608/2010 by which the appellants have sought permission to issue fresh notices to respondent Nos. 44 and 45 and to implead the legal representatives of respondent Nos.13 and 47. Mr. Joshi also sought to bring the legal representatives of deceased respondent No. 1 on record, who had expired on 27th August, 2010. Mr. Joshi submitted that on account of bonafide mistake on his part, there was deletion of respondent Nos. 3, 4, 13, 44 and 45 from the cause title of the second appeal and, therefore, the applications filed by the appellants be allowed. … 25 … 7. Mr. Lotlikar, learned Senior Counsel opposed the prayer made by Mr. Joshi and submitted that in view of the deletion of the above referred respondents, the decree against the respondent Nos. 44 and 45 and the legal representatives of respondent Nos. 13 and 47 have become final and as such, at this stage, no case is made out for recalling of the order dated 9th February, 2010 by which the appellants were permitted to delete the above referred respondents at their own request. Mr. Lotlikar further submitted that since the impugned decree has become final as against the deleted respondents and the legal representatives, the present appeal is incompetent since there cannot be two conflicting decrees. 8. I have carefully considered the rival submissions and perused the record. 9. By order dated 9th February, 2010 passed in Civil Application No.21/2010, at the request of the appellants, respondent Nos. 3, 4, 13, 44 and 45 were deleted on the ground that they were not contesting. The necessary sequitur is that the impugned decree insofar as respondent Nos. 3, 4, 13, 44 and 45 are concerned, have become final. This being the position, Mr. Lotlikar is right in contending … 26 … that the appeal is incompetent because there cannot be two conflicting decrees. The impugned decree insofar as respondent Nos. 44 and 45 and legal representatives of respondent Nos. 13 and 47, have become final. The authorities cited by Mr. Joshi are absolutely not applicable inasmuch as the factual matrix in both these judgments is entirely different. 10. In Babu Sukham Singh Vs. Ram Dular Singh and others reported in AIR 1973 SC 204, the Apex Court held that where a joint claim is made as against the defendants, failure to implead the legal representatives of the deceased defendant in appeal results in abatement of appeal in toto. Indisputably, in the present case, the decree passed by the Appellate Court, is in a suit for partition, therefore, the decree insofar as respondent Nos. 44 and 45 and the legal representatives of respondent Nos.13 and 47 are concerned, has become final. The ratio laid down in the case of Babu Sukharam Singh is squarely applicable in the present case. Therefore, the appeal is incompetent and is liable to be dismissed as abated. Insofar as the submission of Mr. Joshi that there was bonafide mistake on his part and, therefore, the order dated 9th February, 2010 be recalled and fresh notices to the respondent Nos. 44 and 45 and the legal … 27 … representatives of respondent Nos. 13 and 47 be issued is concerned, I am unable to accept the submission. The appellants having chosen to delete the aforesaid respondents in an appeal preferred against the decree passed in the suit for partition, after a period of over six months from the deletion of the said respondents from the cause title, cannot now seek to recall the order dated 9th February, 2010, which has been already implemented by deletion of the said respondents from the cause title. 11. In view of the above discussion, I hold that on account of deletion of respondent Nos. 3, 4, 13, 44 and 45 from the cause title, the appeal is incompetent and stands abated as a whole. MCA Nos. 607/2010 and 608/2010 stand dismissed. Since the appeal itself is incompetent and stands abated, the question of permitting the appellants to bring the legal representatives of respondent No.1, does not arise. Consequently, MCA No.610/2010 also stands dismissed. 12. In view of the above, Second Appeal No.68/2010, MCA Nos. 607/2010, 608/2010 and 610/2010 stand dismissed with no order
