Appeal - irregularity

Friends,
I have few issues on legal points.
The landlord has filed the suit for eviction.
The trial court dismissed the suit.
The Landlord files Appeal.
During the Appeal, he has made amendments of the plaint and brings new grounds for getting the possession of the premises. Evidence is led by the landlord and he is cross-examined by the tenant on the new grounds.
The Appeal is still pending during all this time.
During this time of the Appeal, the tenant dies.
Though the Legal heirs of the tenant are issued notices and they are served, they appear before the Appeal Court and the Appeal is heard finally after.
however, the Landlord has not amended the Title of the Appeal and it still remains against the dead tenant.
Now, the Appeal has reversed the judgement and decreed the suit.
However, the name in the title of the suit is still not changed and the order of eviction is passed against the dead tenant.
So, can the decree be passed against the dead tenant as his name is still on the title of the plaint and Appeal?
and also, can such a decree be obstructed or executed against the LR of the dead tenant?
Not amending the title of the Plaint and Appeal is just an irregularity which can be corrected or because of this defect, the Appeal should fail?
So, I am just wondering whether the Appeal Court has done injustice to the tenant by such amendment.
Looking forward to your valuable guidance.
regards
