If a person is on the charges of 498a and subsequently on BAIL, and he committs suicide while on BAIL. what Happens?
Does case get closed or conviction goes to person providing bail?

The case will proceed against the co-accused.

If there are co-accused - they'd continue to face trial. Surety gets discharged automatically, he need not pay or face trial. !!!
