only a defendant is obligated to pay their restitution. If kids pay it, it would be out of moral obligation. Visit www.kliszlaw.com to discuss. Tim Klisz

Re: liability
in india pious obligation theory mandates that children are liable to pay the debts of their father/parents. how ever it does not applicable to a fraud transaction.
in this case it is with fraud. hence his children are not liable to pay fine.
