138 NIA APPEAL

Learned Advocates,
(this is actually a repeated query as earlier i didn't got a answer for the same)

One of my friend was a accused in 138 case where he had given 10 cheques each of Rs 100000, 

The complainant had filed 10 complaints in trail court and all were in the same Magistrate's court 

Now he recently got convicted by the order of trial court in all the 10 cases. 
The sentence is for 1 year in each case plus cheque amount, and if not paid then additional 4 months

Accused is not in a position to pay the amount of cheques

Now if we want to appeal in District court then do we have to file 10 appeals or we can combine all in one, if yes then under what section?? 


What should be our prayer.... To reduce the sentence or to set aside the order......CAN WE WRITE BOTH? IF YES THEN UNDER WHAT SECTION?

Thanks in advance
