Who of the following is not a legal representative according to Civil Procedure Code, 1908?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
A creditor does not represent the deceased’s estate merely because a debt is owed to that creditor. Section 2(11) includes a person legally representing the estate and an intermeddler; executors and administrators are ordinary examples. A coparcener who represents or receives the relevant estate can also fall within the definition. Appointment to administer an estate would be a separate basis, not creditor status alone.
