The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Z.B. against the Lower Court's decision to suspend proceedings. The material facts reveal that the applicant, W.B., died before the proceedings could conclude, and no legal successors were identified to take over the case. The court ruled that the proceedings must be terminated because the original party is deceased and no one stands in their legal place to pursue the claim.
