Loaned money not returned

The loan / promissory note is barred by limitation 

The promissory note was executed in the year 2018.

The validity of the same is only three years from the date of its execution and not beyond it.

Therefore your father can issue a legal demand notice demanding the outstanding loan amount based on the promissory note.

If he acknowledges the loan then the limitation will start afresh from the date of his acknowledgement.

If he doesn't respond then you have bleak chances for recovery.

Thank you Sir's for your responses. So sounds like there is no other option legally . As if I issue a legal notice he is in US so may not be valid and not respond

Unless you can advise me any other way as he has cheated my aged father of his hard earned money 

Your help is much appreciated 

There is nothing wrong in sending a legal notice to his USA address as well as to his email address and through whatsapp media too.

If he acknowledges the loan then the limitation starts afresh.

However if he is not responding then you have no option to recover the time barred loan amount.

Thank you Sir. Is there a possibility if we file a case to attach his property in India ?

Not sure legal notice he may respond but will give that a try with the help of a lawyer

You can't file recovery suit against this person as your case is totally time barred.
