The Court held that the monetary liability survived against the deceased's estate and could be examined in revision, distinguishing compensation from a sentence of imprisonment alone. It further held that compensation is recoverable as if it were a fine under Section 431 CrPC, enforceable through the machinery for recovery of fine, and that Section 70 IPC does not discharge the liability merely because the offender has died.
