Dear Sir,
The offence under S.279 and S.338 IPC, are conisable cases, and in such cases the ststus of the complainant is that of infor;mant only,hence his death is immaterial.But if the injured witness is not available the case may result in aquittal.

In any case the witness needs to be examined. Can be compounded out side the court. And lead evidence to acquit the accused.
