Hi, the original complainant has died (son) but now his mother want to continue the case on behalf of her son.. my question is there any time frame to reopen the case..??
Yes there is a specific time frame for that. Not more than 90 days. After that if u can prove the delay reason to the satisfaction of the court. Then she will added up as a party of the case and she can continue with the case. But in criminal case that is not possible.
