(2.) It is an admitted fact that the suit was filed on 14.12.2011, and Bhim Singh had died on 05.12.2011 just 9 days prior to the institution of the suit.

(3.) Learned counsel for the petitioner has pleaded that the factum regarding the death of Bhim Singh-deceased was not in the knowledge of the plaintiff at the time of filing of the suit, as it was the recent happening. He, therefore, contended that, that was a mistake in good faith. He relied upon the case of Surinderjit Kaur Versus Sukhdev Singh, 2015 Supp CivCC 144, to contend that the legal representatives of Bhim Singh-deceased should be allowed to be impleaded.
