Complainant not alive whose statement is admissible in the court now

yes you can be convicted even in absence of the complainant. Complainant's evidence, though important, is not the sole criteria for conviction. If other independent witness corroborates the prosecution version, the court can still convict you.

Yes you can still be convicted on charges of report given by Investigation officer to court. Yes u can still be convicted even though complainant is dead is u have offence of theft. Witnesses statement and on the basis of evidence provided will be admissible. It will be now a state case or any person from the dead complainant family. But the case will not be disposed off till judgement of the matter is not passed.
