what were you doing for 3 years? your civil claim would be barred by limitation . similarly if you present cheque it iwll be returned on grounds accounts closed . no 138 case would lie

why dont you disclose all facts at time you raise the query?

was interest paid by cheque ?

if so you can file civil suit for recovery of money

Laxman you are not clear in your expression
Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 24 April 2012
As the debt was certified by debtor till one year ago then the limitation goes till next 2 years to file a suit for recovery.

You can file a criminal complaint under section 420 IPC against the debtor alleging that he played a fraud with you.

Facts stated by you are unclear.

What proof of loan you have?

What is its' date?

What is the date on cheque?

A debt advanced 3 years before would be treated time barred in law?

Shonee Kapoor (Expert) 24 April 2012
I don't think any criminal action is possible only civil suit of recovery is possible because the limitation period would extend by two years.
