CHi! A few years ago my father sold everything he had and gave the money to my mama for business. For a few years, he paid interest which was enough to survive. Now, he refuses to return anything or pay interest. My parents don’t have anything of their own and are too old to start something. He abuses them and has threatened to never give a single penny. He has enough property but is otherwise drowning in debts. He refuses to sell his property and return the money.
The only proof my parents have is the many voice recordings and eye witnesses.
Is there anything we can do? This is a very bad situation. Both of them are senior citizens.

BLawyer here, based in Delhi. You would need to file a civil suit for recovery of money, supported by whatever evidence you have such as voice recordings, witness testimony, and ideally any financial trail if available. Even oral agreements are enforceable under Indian law if they can be proved.
If your father gave the money as a loan or investment with an expectation of repayment, and your uncle is now refusing despite having assets, the law is on your side. We can also explore criminal options such as cheating or criminal breach of trust if the facts support it, especially if there was deceit involved from the beginning.

CThanks so much! I’ve been told that filing a case will require a lot of money involvement too? Like, the police may want to be bribed. And the lawyer fee these days is high too with no guarantee of when this can be resolved. Just trying to understand if this will be viable enough, although I do not see another option.
