A cheque must be en-cashed within 6 months from the date of issue of the cheque.

i agree with expert partha that cheques are not valid .
Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 06 September 2011
I disagree with both experts. querist is repeatedly saying that cheque is undated. The validity of encashment of cheque is 6 months from the date mentioned therein and not issued from bank.

In the given facts, there is a flaw, You have not mentioned the entire reply of Y submitted by him against your notice wherein he admitted having cheque with him. Whether he had also admitted to return it as he has already received payment or not? whether he had admitted having received the payment against which said cheque was issued? Whether he in writing had received the payment and had issued any receipt against the same? Whether you had demanded the return of cheque while returning him loan amount?

ll these are relevant questions, the reply of which vests only with you so come with ll facts so that its accurate reply may be given.

according to querist legal notice was issued in 2007 . in reply Y has mentioned that cheques are with him . in addition bank was informed way back in 2007 not to encash these cheques . the PNR number of cheques must have been given . further account has been closed for more than a year .

even if Y fills in dates today on these cheques and present them to bank it would not be valid . as per bombay high court judgement blank cheque is no cheque . even if 138 Ni filed , case would be dismissed

In fact this is a repeated question, but the querist is not able to express what he want to convey. His previous question was also quite confusing, where he stated that the chaque was encashed in 2007, as at the following link:
