Taking into consideration the above facts and the query therein.

According to the NI Act the valid of any cheque is only 3 months from the date of issue. However if the cheque is bounced. One needs to file the case within the stipulated time with is approximately 75 days from the date of dishonor of cheque. Beyond the limitation the cheque instrument becomes invalid.

In certain matters a delay condonation application can be filed with the court in cases of beyond limitations. If the application is allowed. The Case can be initiated by the court.

Best Regards .

Filing of cheque bounce case is a time bound matter. You need to issue a statutory notice within 30 days from the date of cheque bounce demanding the cheque amount. Thereafter the other side has 15 days time to remit the amount if he so wishes. If the other side does not pay the amount within 15 days, you have to file a complaint before the competent court within 30 days of expiry of the 15 days to remit the amount.
