Give more detail about why you have given the cheque for security?
do you have any receipt for the payment of Rs.30000/- and Rs.120000/-.

A cheque is valid only for a Period of SIX months, after the lapse of that period it will not be accepted for clearance as such filing a complaint under NI act basing upon the same is not possible.
However as cheque is also a negotiable instrument like promissory note, civil liability is upto three years. That means a civil suit for recovery of amounts covered under a cheque can be filed within three years from the date of issue of the cheque.
As seen from your query it is not clear that whether date was mentioned on the cheque issued by you in the year 1999/2000 or not?.
Please furnish fuller details.
Regards
