The above view has been adopted in Subbamma v. Kannappachari, AIR 1969 Mys 221, where the Mysore High Court held that the death of the complainant in a case of non-cognizable offence does not abate the prosecution and it is within the discretion of the trying Magistrate in a proper case to allow the complaint to continue by a proper and fit complainant if the latter is willing. But some other High Courts have taken a contrary stand.
