Bare Act

The Jammu and Kashmir Legal Representatives Suits Act, 1920

This Act enables executors, administrators, heirs, or other legal representatives of a deceased person to sue and be sued in the name of the estate for wrongs committed by the deceased during their lifetime. It specifically allows these representatives to recover damages for pecuniary losses caused to the estate if the wrongful act occurred within one year before the death. The Act ensures that liabilities arising from the deceased's actions do not die with them, but instead form part of the estate, thereby protecting the financial interests of the heirs and the deceased's legacy.
