Need advice on validity of promissory notes


12-Jun-2023 (In Civil Law)
Sir, what is the validity of promisery note if date is mentioned in that? And if date is not mentioned in that what is the validity of that? Becoz my dad wrote the promisery note in 2010 with out mentioning date and they wrote date now and asking to settle the amount now. But actually we settled the amount.. Is there any method to get rid of the situation. And kindly tell me importance of public notice in news paper legally?

Dear Client,
Information is not sufficient. Without putting date, amount and other particulars and giving blank signed promissory note is not valid in law. But the opposite party will fill the date, amount and other particulars to suit his convenience and file the civil suit against your father after receiving the amount due from him for the wrongful gain of the opposite party. Take expert legal advise. If the opposite party filed the civil suit on the filled blank signed promissory note your father can engage an expert advocate and project the case. Public notice in news paper will be given by opposite party when summons were not served on your father. Hence, your father must verify the case that was filed by opposite party and get a vakalat of expert advocate filed and contest the matter.
