abatement

No such provision exist in CrPC because the purpose of a criminal trial is to find the guilt of an accused and punish him if found guilty. But since the person is dead, there is noone to receive the punishment.

If the legal heirs are not impleaded/transposed within a limitation period by other parties, the civil suit is treated as abated and it depends on facts and circumstances and differs from case to case.

If accused is dead case is closed in cc and  civil by bringing lrs on record the case continues.

Continuance of the trial proceedings after the death of the sole accused is considered to be infructuous and meaningless.

However, express provision for abetment of the trial proceedings after the death of the sole accused is not available in CrPC but it is a well-established doctrine through various Supreme Court and High Court Judgments.

What are the facts? What is the context?
