During the pendency of the claim petition, he died. An application was filed on behalf of his sons and daughters claiming themselves to be the legal representatives of the deceased. The said application was opposed by the respondent on the ground that such an application was not maintainable. The learned Tribunal came to the conclusion:

In the present case, where there is no allegation of loss to the estate of Kashi Ram, the right to sue does not survive. The application is not maintainable.

Consequently, the claim petition of Kashi Ram was dismissed as it could not proceed further.
