Following order is passed on Ch/S No. 1017/2021-
ORDER
1.     Applicant taken out Ch/S for taking on record legal heirs of the deceased plaintiff Mr. Anthony Devassy Sebastian who died on 19/08/2020 living behind him widow Helan Anthony Sebastian and son Keith Anthony Sebastian.
2.    It is contended due to Covid-19 applicant was unable to take steps and there is not intentional delay in bring on records legal heirs.
3.   Adv. For MCGM submitted that Court may pass necessary orders.
4.    Defendant No. 2 opposed application. It is contended that there is no valid reason given in the application. The Suit has been automatically abated as a legal heirs are not brought on record within a prescribed time and after 150 days Suit is abated.
5.     This Ch/S has been taken out for taking on record legal heirs of deceased plaintiff on perusal of the death certificate Exh. A, it appears that original plaintiff  Mr. Anthony Devassy Sebastian died on 19/08/2020. It is the contention of applicant that due to Covid-19 she could not take steps. Apex Court in sue moto Writ Petition No. 1/2020 extended period of limitation under Limitation Act and Special Acts from 15/03/2020 to 30/03/2022. The defendant No. 2 opposed application on ground of delay. However, in view of the judgment of Hon\''ble Apex Court in Writ Petition No. 1/2020 I find no substance in the submission of defendant No. 2 that Suit is automatically abated. Therefore, considering the facts of the case and judgment of the Apex Court the Writ Petition No. 1/2020 the Ch/S deserves to be allowed. Hence, I passed following order-
O R D E R
