https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=169316 Section 394 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 provides that criminal appeals abate on the death of the accused-respondent, subject to the statutory exception for appeals from a sentence of fine. A sentence of fine is treated as affecting the deceased's estate, so legal representatives may retain a sufficient interest to pursue the challenge. An appeal against conviction carrying both imprisonment and fine remains within the exception so far as the fine is concerned, because the liability survives against the estate. The appeal in relation to the deceased respondent's conviction was therefore treated as abated on death. en-us Thu, 13 Jul 2006 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 11:04:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=169316 Section 394 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 provides that criminal appeals abate on the death of the accused-respondent, subject to the statutory exception for appeals from a sentence of fine.
