Explanation

Under Order XXXII, Rule 12(2), when a guardian retires, dies, or is removed by the Court during the pendency of a suit, it is the Court's duty to appoint a new guardian to represent the minor. The minor cannot appoint a guardian on their own, and the suit is not dismissed due to the guardian's change.
