Summons to one is served but other is avoiding. So can we delete the second name so that trial can commence.

You cannot because he is legal heir of the deceased owner. He is necessary party. If he is avoiding proceed with alternative procedure to serve the summons.

He is necessary party, he cannot be deleted because he is the legal heir of the deceased owner. If he is avoiding service of summons go for alternative method to serve the summons.

You have to make landlord the party. If both are landlord then both are necessary party.
If not then expunge his name.
