let the statement of inspector be recorded .he has to depose as to the facts of the case , the inquiry conducted by him inot the allegations of dowry .
V R SHROFF (Expert) 13 December 2011
IO will produce the record and depose in Court, and your Advocate has right to cross examine the Police Inspector.
You also get a copy of death certificate of Complainant and inform this fact to Court.
OR
You can ask Court to summon the Complainant and apply u/s 256 of cr p c to acquit you.Her son may not have any personal knowledge, and he is not the complainant. So in that case, the case is over!

As this is State case and not a complaint case so the opinion of shroff cannot be got applicable in the given case.

As the complainant personally cannot come and depose so its benefit shall go in your favour but court is not solely dependant upon the evidence of deceased. if the charges stand proved on the bases of the evidence of some other reliable witnesses then the position shall be otherwise so it is better to wait and watch and follow the advice of your lawyer.

sir

in the FIR they have written that my entire family tried to burn his daughter with karosine oil and she went along with fire in the village , but in the trail till date the complainants (who died earlier) and his daughter didnt given any statement as per FIR , they are just telling that she is been harrest in mumbai for dowry and that is too by my sisiter ..and my mother used to switch off the lights while she used to clean Rice etc..so they have not recorded any sentence as per FIR and they have not submitted any medical report and both the witnesses who refused now are living out of the villege boundary there are at least 50 residences from our place to her place and not one been called as a witness from his side ..bcz the case is fake with political presurre and money any how he was bale to register FIR and Now you know with my recent query what is the status ..
