To save my dad from being jailed while I don't pay the money to the payee ( because we didn't borrow money) .

Advocate Dilraj Sequeira answered
All the contentions you were supposed to take at the time of trial were not taken.Still you have option to file an application for recalling the witnesses for cross examination and also you have an opportunity to adduce your defence evidence.In the event the court dismisses the application, if you have an opportunity to approach the higher court by filing a revision petition against the order of dismissal.In the event of passing of the judgement, you need to file an application immediately after pronouncement of the judgement for suspension ofSentence and thereafter filed an appeal before the sessions court.
