It is the duty of the plaintiff to inform the court about the death of the defendant.

Then he should file a petition under order 22 rule 4 cpc and an amendment petition to amend the plaint to include the LRs of deceased as well to record the death of the defendant.

Counsel for plaintiff is required to intimate the court.
