My father is facing 15 cheque bounce cases against him and more can happen due to business loss and bad decisions in the past. We have no money to pay such a huge debt and business is also not working. My father is 60 years old.
If my father pleads guilty in the cases, will there be leniency by the court in any way in terms less imprisonment or open/semi-open prison

A.Dear Sir,
You may file a case before High Court to transfer all such cases to one Court and to be tried on single hearing basis to avoid unnecessary trouble to your father.

A.Dear Client if your father pleads guilty then he will have to face the penalty and possible prison also. Since it was a business which has gone down it is suggested that you declare your business as insolvent and then tell the court that since the business is bankrupt we are not in a position to pay. The court will go lenient on you in that case.
