Under Order XXXII Rule 10 CPC, when the next friend of a minor dies or is removed, further proceedings…

Order XXXII Rule 10 stays further proceedings on the retirement, removal or death of the next friend until "A next friend is appointed in the former next friend's place". It does not require waiting until "The minor necessarily attains majority", nor permit "The defendant consents to proceeding without a next friend" or "The Court decides the merits without a replacement" to replace that safeguard; Rule 11 separately concerns replacement of a guardian for the suit.
