casestatus.in Summary
A criminal appeal abates upon the death of the sole appellant, divesting the court of jurisdiction to proceed on merits. This analysis from casestatus.in highlights that abatement is automatic on proof of death, though the court retains discretion to grant liberty to the respondent-State to apply for revival if the reported death is subsequently found to be incorrect.
