The Criminal Complaint under section 138 of N I Act can be file only after written notice to the accused which is compulsorily given within 30 days from the cheque bounce day. since you missed this period, such complaint cannot be filed.
However, you can still recovery the money by filing Summary Suit before the civil court. Summary Suit is speedier and expeditious remedy to recovery money on the basis of cheques. here the time limit is 3 years from the dishonour, but it is not advisable to wait now.

Hi,

As three months time have passed from the date on cheque , you cannot proceed under 138 NIAct.
The only option left is that you can
file the suit for recovery .
This is a civil case , you can file the summary suit under order xxxvII.

Thanks

To recover the money you have to send a legal notice to the party demanding the dues. There may be so many reasons for stop payment and may be you know it better. Ways are open to receive your legal dues back but within a reasonable period.
