on death of respondent his legal heirs have to be brought on record

If the respondent was the trustee, then his legal heirs cannot be impleaded rather either of the trustees is required to be impleaded replacing the name of dead trustee otherwise the opinion of Sethi is accurate.

querist has not mentioned whether respondent is a trustee . hence advised for impleading legal heirs
