1. Objection is taken by appellants to the execution of a decree of the Privy Council. It is first contended that, as three of the respondents were dead when the appeal was heard and judgment was pronounced, the decree against them is a nullity. Section 23 of William IV, Ch. 41, however, cures the defect in the judgment for it enacts that the order shall have full force and effect notwithstanding the death of any of the parties interested therein. Vide Deonandan Prasad Singh v. Janki Singh (1920) 5 PLJ 314. The deceased respondents must therefore be considered as parties to the decree notwithstanding their death before it was passed.
