The charged Higgs boson sector of the Minimal Manifest Left-Right Symmetric model (MLRSM) is investigated in the context of LHC discovery search for new physics beyond Standard Model. We discuss and summarise the main processes within MLRSM where heavy charged Higgs bosons can be produced at the LHC. We explore the scenarios where the amplified signals due to relatively light charged scalars dominate against heavy neutral Z(2) and charged gauge W-2 as well as heavy neutral Higgs bosons signals which are dumped due to large vacuum expectation value v(R) of the right-handed scalar triplet. Consistency with FCNC effects implies masses of two neutral Higgs bosons A(1)(0), H-1(0) to be at least of 10 TeV order, which in turn implies that in MLRSM only three of four charged Higgs bosons, namely H-1,2(+/-+/-) and H-1(+/-), can be simultaneously light. In particular, production processes with one and two doubly charged Higgs bosons are considered. We further incorporate the decays of those scalars leading to multi lepton signals at the LHC. Branching ratios for heavy neutrino N-R, W-2 and Z(2) decay into charged Higgs bosons are calculated. These effects are substantial enough and cannot be neglected. The tri- and four-lepton final states for different benchmark points are analysed. Kinematic cuts are chosen in order to strength the leptonic signals and decrease the Standard Model (SM) background. The results are presented using di-lepton invariant mass and lepton-lepton separation distributions for the same sign (SSDL) and opposite sign (OSDL) di-leptons as well as the charge asymmetry are also discussed. We have found that for considered MLRSM processes tri-lepton and four-lepton signals are most important for their detection when compared to the SM background. Both of the signals can be detected at 14 TeV collisions at the LHC with integrated luminosity at the level of 300 fb(-1) with doubly charged Higgs bosons up to approximately 600GeV. Finally, possible extra contribution of the charged MLRSM scalar particles to the measured Higgs to di-photon (H-0(0) -> gamma gamma) decay is computed and pointed out.
