(ORAL) Mr. Chaudhary, counsel for the respondents has not disputed the legal preposition that there is no limitation for impleading the LRs. Mr. Jaideep Verma, counsel for the petitioner has placed reliance on three judgments Kali Ram vs. Mangat Ram, 2001(2) Civil Court Cases 241 (P&H), Banta Singh vs. Khajan Singh, 2201(2) Civil Court Cases 350 (P&H), Jeet Ram vs. Ganga Phal & Ors. 2006(3) Civil Court Cases 416 (P&H) in which it was held that rules of procedure are meant for advancing justice and should be so interpreted and make them penal for punishing erring parties and destroy their legitimate rights. It is also well settled by now that irrespective of any documents over which the LRs of deceased place reliance, they being natural heirs, could be impleaded as legal representatives of the deceased. Jit Singh and Prem Singh being C.R. No. 6533 of 2006 2 the natural heirs of Raunaq Singh could be impleaded his legal representatives. However, the dispute regarding the inheritance of the property, which depends upon the adjudication of will, could be settled by the trial court by framing the issues. As such, Jeet Singh and Prem Singh are impleaded as plaintiffs in place of Raunaq Singh for the purpose of pursuing his suit. Consequently, the orders dated 31.8.2006 (Annexure P-4) and 24.10.2006 (Anneuxre P-5) are set aside and the petitioners are ordered to be impleaded as plaintiffs to pursue the suit. The parties are directed to appear before the trial Court on 26.5.2009. (A.N.JINDAL) 04.05.2009 JUDGE reena
