Sir,
To help you with this. need clarification on the Following
1. When was the cheque presented to the bank
2. Date of dishonour
3. Date of demand notice
4. Reply to your notice

However, the procedure to file a case under Sec.138 of Negotiable Instruments Act,1881 is as follows
the cheque has to be presented within 3 months from the date of the issue of cheque. If teh cheque gets dishonour the legal notice has to be sent within 15 days from the date of dishonour and the payment or reply to the notice has to be sent within 30 days from the receipt of the notice. On failure to do so, you may initiate proceedings under Sec 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act after the completion of 30 days period.
