Legal representatives' liability - They are liable to satisfy decrees from the property vested in them upon the death of the judgment debtor.

Non-binding cases and limitations - Certain decisions highlight that not all legal representatives are automatically bound; for example, properties acquired independently of the estate (e.g., property in the widow’s name not as legal representative) may not be subject to execution under Section 50.

Summary - Section 50 of the CPC is a vital provision for enforcing decrees against the legal representatives of deceased judgment debtors. Proper impleading, service, and adherence to procedural requirements are essential. While legal representatives are generally bound by decrees, certain exceptions exist, especially regarding property acquired independently or not properly brought into record. Amendments have not eliminated the applicability of Section 50, and courts emphasize strict compliance for enforceability.
