My dad stood surety for my cousin’s bail, putting up ₹30,000. Now, my cousin’s skipping court dates. Will my father face any trouble? Is he at risk of being arrested?

Yes, your father could face trouble. Under Indian law, a surety is legally obligated to ensure the accused’s appearance in court. If your cousin continues skipping court dates, your father could be held liable and face arrest, potentially having to pay the bail amount himself.
