Re: legalhair
A criminal complaint may not be maintainable after death of the complainant. You may want to consult your local lawyer for appropriate guidance.
Re: legalhair
If the case is either summons case or summary case, then same would abate on death of complainant.
If the case is warrant case or sessions case, then same would continue even after death of complainant.
Presence of legal heirs in place of complainant is not contemplated in any of the cases. However, legal heirs may be taken on record only for the limited purpose of award of compensation U/s.357 Cr.P.C., if any.
Re: legalhair
Your question is not specific. It is not clear whether it is criminal or civil case. If it is a criminal case what is the allegation of the complainant. Regarding the civil case of tenancy, his son having a right to file tenancy case against you as a legal representative.
