Challenging the aforesaid order dated 27.03.2017, Mr. Manas Khatri, contended that the order impugned is not only non-speaking and against the settled cannons of law, but perverse also, as the same records petitioner's concession that the respondents did not want to file any reply to such applications. Learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that the Appellate Court has taken legal representatives of the deceased plaintiff - Narayan Das on record, without even deciding the applications under Section 5 of the Limitation Act and application filed under Order XXII Rule 9 of the Code of Civil Procedure, seeking setting aside of the abatement. The Court below has not even noticed the contentions and arguments of the parties in relation to the subject applications.
3.On the other hand, Mr. Jagat Tatia, learned counsel appearing for the respondents No. 1/1 to 1/6 (legal representatives of the deceased plaintiff - Narayan Das) submitted that the learned Appellate
Court has passed the order dated 27.03.2017, after taking into account the factual position. He
submitted that since the legal representatives of the deceased plaintiff -
appellant - Narayan Das have already been taken on record, no interference under Article 227 of the
Constitution of India is warranted; and that the writ petition against the order dated 27.03.2017 is
not maintainable.;
