Analysis and Conclusion: Filing an application for substitution is a crucial procedural step when a party dies during litigation.

Courts generally favor allowing substitution if the application is filed within statutory or court-ordered timelines, and they may set aside or modify orders if justified. Parties must be vigilant to file substitution applications promptly to safeguard their legal rights and ensure case progression.
