Limitation

Limitation start from date of last transaction .i.e. 3 years from the date of cheque

Any Supreme court judgement .The cheque was not presented to its banker by the plaintiff. Its just a receipt

when you got ch in nov 2009.. then why not you bank  those ch in nov 2009?

i think,, even if dependent issued ch in nov 2009... that means it is admitted laibility..

you can file civil suit before nov 2012..

and the second limb of argument is.. if ch is given in nov 2009.. then mean in FY 2009-2010 ( 31 march 2010)

then 3y limitation will be 31 march 2013..

Since a cheque is a signed acknowledgment of debt - it works as acknowledgment - you are advised to read S.19-21 of Limitation Act in this regard. 

dont take risk file civil suit before nov.2012, lot of supreme court and chennai high court citation available go and meet your lawyer.
