Defaults of payment after last extension order from high court


20-May-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Hi, my father's case is going on in high court. He had to pay 23 lakhs to the complainant, of which only 9.5 lakhs are remaining. The case was such that he was a property agent for plots of land, however, one of the scheme he was selling for was not completed on time and the main property scheme owner turned out to be fraudulent somehow. So the buyers started harassing my father and filed a case against him though he was just an agent. But my father got scared of jail to an extent that to get the bail, he surrendered and gave in writing he would pay off the money. He was paying as and how he could and was getting extensions from court. Before few months, he had got a last extension until 31st may from high court of Gujarat. However, the amount is still not arranged. What could be the outcome if he is unable to pay the remaining on the due date? Or what should he do to save himself from going to Jail?

Now here as your father has not taken any koney neither have utilized it then u should submit to the court that you have not taken any money and as you were pressurized so you were paying the money by selling your mothers ornaments by selling other household things and now you have nothing to sell and nothing to give the court may give order how it finds suitable as you are not guilty neither have you taken money. Court will not pass order for your judicial custody or pronounce for jail term

Hello,
you should file a petition in the H. court as to your father's financial condition and seek some more time to arrange the money.
do not let the other party to take any further action against you. rather do it yourself so as to avoid further consequences.

Regards,

You will have to immediately file an application seeking extension of time to deposit the amount. If not done, you may have to face contempt proceedings. You may mention your difficulties before the court, I hope court will consider
