no you cannot redeposit the cheque again if legal notice was issued on account of first dishonour .

file a summary suit for recovery of outstanding dues

After dishonour of cheque,if legal notice to drawer has been issued then cheque can not be dposited in bank for want of cause of action. Only remady available to you is to file a suit for recovery of money either u/o 7 or u/o 37 of C.P.C.

how much time has passed ?
You can also file for pardoning of the excess time....
As you said it was not your fault... It was of your lawyer's
Go for a new Advocate and file the 138 NI case along with the pardoning application in which you state the reason of the delay being your advocate's fault....
Arvind Sehdev (Expert) 15 November 2011
As per Amendment in 2002, under proviso to section 142 of NI Act, court can take cognizance of the offence even after the prescribed period, if the complainant is able to satisfy that he had sufficient cause for non-filing of the complaint within the such period.
You have a solid ground....

Agreed with expert opinion.
