My sincere advise to you would be to ask your father to surrender before the police, and obtain regular bail. He is not guilty of any wrong doing, he purchased a property that was sold to him by an agent in 2008, how did your father know that to the very same land there are other owners, the charges being levelled against him cannot be proved if the matter goes to trial.

Once he surrenders the court will automatically assume that he is innocent and grant him regular bail, once out on bail, your father can think of working out a out of court settlement so that he does not have to go to court for the rest of his life.

according to me this would be the best approach.

1) did the agent have power of attorney?

2) on basis of said POA did the agent execute regd sale deed in your father favour ?

3) if your father is bonafide purchaser of value he had nothing to fear

4) your father has to take he plea that it is a civil dispute between parties and no case of cheating criminal breach of trust is made out

5) that no documents have been fabricated by your father and that your father is a senior citizen and has duly cooperated with the investigations

6) that your father is not an absconder and that he would not seek to influence the witnesses

7) bail would be granted by HC

1. Just follow the advice of your lawyer whom you have engaged for getting bail in the HC. He is the one who has to argue in support of your bail.

2. Unless the documentary proof shows commission of an offence by you the chances of success in the HC are bright.

Did your father purchase the land properly by getting a sale deed executed and registered before a registrar?, if not then it can be considered as an act of land grabbing and he will be liable for punishment for the offence.

However, if he is not inside, try for anticipatory bail on the basis of the strong evidences for purchasing the property from the said deceased lady and get enlarged on bail.
