Dear Madam,
The complainant can not recover the amount and can not prosecute the legal heirs of the deceased under the N.I act.
Therefore, the legal heirs can not be respnsible for the same
Further, compalainant has a right to file civil case for suit of recovery against the legal heirs of the deceased.
Regards,

From the question that you have asked, it is not clear whether a 138 complaint has been filed by your father's friend or a civil suit is filed for recovery of money.
If it is a 138 complaint, it is in respect of an offence committed by your father. In respect of such complaint, your father's friend cannot proceed against you, since you cannot be punished for the offence
If it is a civil suit and your father's friend gets a decree in his favour, he may proceed against the properties that you have inherited from your father.

The criminal case filed against the accused is closed upon his death. You can sue the legal heir of an accused who owned immovable property to recover money paid. You can give a notice to pay within 15 days, and then bring a civil court suit for recovery.
