Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 06 August 2013
Your sole question is that the promissee has written the date prior to the actual execution of the promissory note so whether the same is valid or not.

My reply is that if the date pertain to within 3 years from the date of demand of loan amount then the same is valid otherwise it is invalid and cannot be got executed.
shaik. Muneer Basha (Querist) 07 August 2013
