Cheque bounce

I have won the case in Lower Trial Court and Appellate court (Case was since 10 years now got the judgement).
Accused was absent on the Judgement day.
Accused went to high court for Criminal Revision, but High court dismissed the petition and ordered him to surrender in the Lower Appellate court for further proceedings.

In the mean while Lower Trial Court has issued an arrest warrant on Accused. but he was absconding, but after 1 and half month Accused was caught. He was sent to Imprisionment, its been past 1 week but till now he did not move any bail petition,
My concern is if he accept the imprisionment then how can I recover the amount, Accused has few properties, Accused is a business and realestate person. If Accused does not respond, can we file EP on the basis of this Judgement?
1) What would be the next step to recover the money.

2) Civil Case : already 10 years passed, can we go for Civil Case

Please given Suggestion

Urgent help-misselling insurance to 80+ yr old

Little lengthy - but its urgent- kindly guide me.

BRIEF NOTE BEFORE DETAILS: Main reason for posting here is because someone from the Ombudsman office (Assistance Secretary to Ombudsman (A.S.O), who was with the judge in the hearings) has been calling me several times asking me (literally threatening) to withdraw the cases and settle with a compromise with the Insurance company (the terms of which he will speak to company and arrange) or else I will not receive any refund and cases will be reversed. Inspite of that I went ahead with the hearings based on someone's suggestion.

BACKGROUND
My father is 80+ and suffering from Alzheimer's/dementia. He receives a pension of 25K per month. Prior to the diagnosis of his disease, he fell victim to mis-selling of 13 insurance policies by 2 agents in just 2 yrs time - total premium around 25Lac p.a for 5 - 6 years. From what the doctor told and from learning more about Alzheimer's, it is clear that he had serious memory decline already at that time and was not in a position to handle financial decisions. The agents have misguided him heavily as he was not in a position to oppose when they were dumping policies to him. My parents were staying in different location at that time and I was not aware of any of his finance etc.

They are all life insurance policies given in the names of me, my sister, my mother and my daughter. In some cases agents have filled wrong salary and rental income details in the proposal form for myself and my sister whereas both are home-makers and have no personal income. I was not aware that so many policies were given and secondly my father had told they were like FD to avoid tax from some maturity amount he received so I thought it was only one time investment. After 2 years,( in 2019-2020) the policies started lapsing and by this time my father had total memory loss and is not in a position to even remember anything. I got to know all this when I started receiving several calls on my fathers mobile for premium payment. After a lot of research I understood that the agents had sold policies knowing somehow about his maturity money and must have definitely known that he cannot pay more that 2 yrs premium.

First I raised complaint with the companies. Some 5 polices have been cancelled and refunded by the company itself, these are lower value polices < 1 lac per annum.

For the others where the company refused to cancel and refund, I had raised complaint earlier this year with the local Insurance Ombudsman and the Policies have now started to come up for hearing with ombudsman, on different dates.
1) In the first case, policy is in the name of my daughter with my father as proposer. Ombudsman asked to refund the amount due to some technical mistake in selling- grandfather to grand daughter
2) Second policy, in my mother's name (she is the proposer and life assured, currently 69yr old) In this 3 premiums totally 2.4 lacs have been paid. The judge said since my fathers name is not involved in this, he cannot treat this policy like the first one. He has ordered the company to make it a single premium policy.
3) In the third policy, my sister is the proposer and life assured. Premium around 2.5Lacs Half yearly and 3 premiums have been paid. My sister is uneducated and no personal income. The judge questioned the company how they could give policy to someone with no capacity to pay premium - sum assured is 50Lacs. They have given them 2 days time to contact the broker company and come up with the explanation. I am waiting for the ombudsman decision.

My queries:
1. In the case where policy is converted to single premium, will the insurance company deduct some amount as administration charges etc or is the full amount taken for premium.
(The ombudsman did not mention about any deduction but the A.S.O who called me again after hearing said there will be deduction.)
2. Given the heavy mis-selling, should the judge not order for refund all amount even if it is in the name of my sister or myself. He said he would not treat all cases same as they are in different names.
3. The policy in my name is nearly 7 Lac per annum premium. And 2 yrs premium paid. The A.S.O has warned me again for this that if I go for hearing, the ombudsman will reject my case as I am educated. So he said he will talk to company and settle something and I should withdraw with compromise. Is he guiding me correctly?

Carpenter cheating on us.absconding after taking money

I had deal with the carpenter named soundhar & sonu for my pending interior woodwork. But both are not coming to do the work. They keep on delaying the work and make lame excuses for the same. Whenever i call, Soundhar doesn't pickup. My house is filled with dust, nails, woodchips. It has become difficult for me to live with this. I have all call recordings with him. which i am unable to upload here as there is no option to do that. I am really harassed by him, as promised to complete the work by 12th Nov, 2021 only and still it has not been completed. The major problem is that he make fake promises and delayes works. Although whatever materials he is purchasing as per him, he is keeping it with him. Everytime he says he need money to buy more materials . If i don't give it to him, he says he will no come for further work. Meanwhile sonu also does the same thing. He is working somewhere else after taking money from us. Daily he says that he will ask soundhar to come. Both are colluding to harass me.Daily we are calling and he is giving excuses.they have already taken 50% of the total payment.he is not returning the money nor coming to work.
