During the pendency of the suit, the mother of the petitioners, namely, Gurbachan Kaur has also passed away. She is also said to have executed a Will dated 06.01.2009 in favour of the petitioners. In order to plead the said Will, that they sought amendment of the plaint. (4). After hearing ld. Counsel for the petitioners, it appears that since the question of validity of the Will dated 06.01.2009 alleged to have been executed by Gurbachan Kaur is not directly or substantially an issue involved in the present suit, the learned Trial Court has rightly declined the amendment sought by the petitioners. However, it does not preclude the petitioners, who are already on record, to represent the estate/interest of their mother Gurbachan Kaur as her legal representatives for the limited purpose of pursuing the suit. (5). With these clarifications/liberty, the revision petition is disposed of. (6). Dasti. (SURYA KANT) JUDGE 16.12.2009 vishal shonkar
