A.Dear Client,
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 Client
When the original party to a case dies during the pendency of the case then the legal heirs of that person can join the suit as substituted parties by filing an application for substitution. The case will be carried forward with the legal heirs then after.
