In case of death of party, how the case proceeds?

 Criminal Case stands abated on the death of person/accused involved. However, death will not absolve any person from civil liability. In the event of death, legal representatives of deceased are to be brought on record.

Yes Mr. Y Prakash has rightly suggested.

In criminal if accused died case stands abated.

But in civil case where any party died the plaintiff has to move substitution application within 90 days to substute legal heirs of the deceased and case proceeds ahead.

 In cases under 138 of NI act the legal heirs of the complainant (if the person deceased is Complainant) can pursue the case. 

Except in 138 the case stands abetted in criminal matters. in civil the legal heirs can be impleaded

Yes, Criminal case has been elaborately explained by the members. In Civil matter see Order 22 of the Civil Procedure Code.

CRIMINAL CASES:-When the accused dies the case stands abated.When the complainant /informant dies the case is to be prosecuted by L.R /state.

CIVIL CASES:-When the plaintiff dies,his/her legal representatives have to file a petition U/OR.22 Rule 3 C.P.C.for their substitution. At the death of a defendant his counsel has to inform the court about such death and then the plaintiff will file a petition for bringing the legal representatives of the deceased defendat on record.The limitation is 90 days from the date of death.

if it's complainant wo dies , heirs of the complainant may continue the case is the accused is alive . for the rest we do agree with the members
