The cheque is barred by limitation hence a criminal case under section 138 of negotiable instruments act is not maintainable.

D/sir,

         Complainant is a mediator & trustee as claimed by him in petition,Whereas orignal debtor has given an affidavit that he doesn`t have any pending amount towards the accused,Whereas mediator & trustee was the bearer of cheque which was kept with him to get the family disputes resolved,But he presented the cheque in the bank where inspite of the fact that he is not a original debtor. Can N.I.Act is not applicable to third-party cheques given towards debt repayment of the original debt of another person.
