If B's father has filed the partition suit and he is no more, then his LRs should file a petition under order 22 Rule 3 to implead themselves as parties to suit within 150 days (90 + 60 = 150 days), and beyond that period they should file a petition to set aside abatement as well as to condone delay in filing both the abatement set aside petition as well as the LR implead petition.
Consult your lawyer and discuss with him about further course of action on this.
