No, pendecy of huge quantity of cases is not a fit ground to do so, in my opinion.

 Definitely a way out is required. 


An important thing that is to be borne in mind is that in all these cases, the party may not be interested in punishing the defaulter. His interest mostly would be to get back his money, may be with some interest.


If that is the case, why criminal prosecution. ADR mechanisms like arbitration would be encouraged and as can be seen from the A&C Act, Award of the arbitrator can be implemented as a decree of a court. It is less cumbursome, quick and effective.
