Want to know about FIR query regarding what happens to fir upon death
21-Mar-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Say, if an FIR was filed and then, years later, the accused whom the FIR is against, dies. is that FIR invalid???
The case gets abated as per section 256 of the CRPC. the relative of the deceased accused needs to procure the death certificate and inform either the police or the court directly and submit the death certificate. After ascertaining it's genuineness, the court will pass an order accordingly

Yes. If he is the only Accused in the case then naturally the case also does along with the Accused.
Criminal proceedings are initiated to punish the Accused. That is the entire purpose behind it. But if they accused him self has died now there is no one to be prosecuted. The trial against him abates.
