https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=273045 A landlord's eviction claim under the Delhi Rent Control Act based solely on his own residential need was held to be personal to him and not capable of being continued by his legal representatives after his death. The cause of action had to be tested on the original pleadings, and substitution would have required a materially different claim based on the representatives' own accommodation needs. That would amount to a new and distinct basis for relief rather than a mere continuation of the same proceeding.
