The Magistrate may dismiss the complaint, and
The accused may be acquitted,
unless the court thinks it proper to adjourn the case or proceed with the complainant’s representation through counsel.
If the complainant’s advocate is present, the court usually adjourns or proceeds.
If neither complainant nor advocate is present, dismissal is likely.

If the complainant in a private complaint case remains absent before the court for a long period without valid reason, the magistrate may dismiss the complaint for non prosecution.
Under section 256 CRPC, if the complainant does not appear on the hearing date, the court may acquit the accused or dismissed complaint, unless the court finds valid reason to adjourn the matter.
If the complainant later has a proper explanation for the absence they may request the court to restore the complaint by filing an appropriate application.
Section 69 of the BNS to specific offences and generally does not apply to the current situation of a complainant being absent in court proceedings.
