What happens to a court case after the person's death

1. Arms license renewal case no way connected with your father's death benefit.

2.Charge against the accused will be abated on his death.

Agreed with Thankachan, the case should be given a decent burial in his grave.

Agreed with other contributors.

Partially agreeing with Mr Thankachan. The criminal case abates after his death.  had he been alive till retirement with this case his terminal benefits would have been in soup.  Now he has died without any charges being proved againast him. The funds can now be released.

A case dies with the person. actio personalis moritur cum persona. As the allegation are not decided to be true his benefits can be claimd.

I will agree with Mr Rajamohammed. His benefits can now be claimed just because he has died befor ethe charges are proved.  You have to inform the criminal court that he has died so that the case is closed. Simultaneourly you can proceed befor ethe department to get his dues stating that he has died before conclusion of trial. In case of further problem you can mail me. Had he been alive and retired he would have got no pension gratuity etc because of retiring under a criminal charge. Now what next you seem to be worreid about the pension only.You have stated that it was arm license renewal case it means that (i) there is a firearm (ii) there was a lisence (iii) license was not renewed.  It appears that no other family member is having a license so you cannot retian that arm even for a day in your house adn needs to be deposited in thana.

Many thanks for the suggestions.

The case has been closed for now and the dept is releasing the payment.

Regarding the firearm, its has allready been deposited in the police station by my father itself.

Good. God Bless you!
