Case Note & Summary
The case involved a Civil Application filed in the High Court of Judicature at Bombay concerning the amendment of the title in a Second Appeal. The original appellant, Papalal N. Nadaf, had passed away, and the application sought to bring his legal heir, Habibulla P. Nadaf, on record. The court noted that an earlier order dated 6th April 2000 had already allowed the heir's inclusion, thus confirming that the heir was already on record. The court granted leave to amend the title of the Second Appeal, directing that the amendment be carried out immediately in court. The decision emphasized the importance of procedural compliance in ensuring that legal heirs are recognized in ongoing litigation.
