What happens to a case where a married daughter dies during the tenure of the case who has filed partition suit on her brothers
If a party to the suit dies during the pendency of the suit their legal heirs can pursue the case suit on her behalf. Moreover, her legal heir also has rights in partitioned property by virtue of being her legal heir.
Thank you
A.Dear Sir,
Her legal heirs will be brought on record and they will continue the suit.

(b) secondly, upon the heirs of the husband;
(c) thirdly, upon the mother and father;
(d) fourthly, upon the heirs of the father; and
(e) lastly, upon the heirs of the mother.
(2) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (1),—
