LIMITATION OF PROMISSORY NOTE EXTENDS OR NOT AFTER CHEQUE BOUNCE


04-Feb-2023 (In Cheque Bounce Law)
Party has taken loan of 65000 on date 2-3-2016 and he had given a cheque with interest on 10-1-2019, but the cheque was bounced. What should I have to do. I have to put only cheque dishonour case or both cheque dishonour and promissory note case also. The party given a cheque on 10-1-2019 and bounced, he tried to pay through cheque, whether the " LIMITATION OF THE PROMISSORY NOTE " extends from the date of the cheque he given to me or remains same as the date on the original promissory note

hi
as such, the limitation period for filing money recovery suit is three years. so technically your limitation ends on 1 March 2019.
now that the person has given cheque and the same has bounced, you should file the following cases.
1) Cheque bounce case under 138 NI act( this has to be filed on or before 15 Feb, assuming legal notice was issued on 15 Jan 2019) and
2) summary suit for money recovery under order 37 CPC on or before 01 March.
3) unless and until the borrower has executed a new promissory note acknowledging the earlier debt, limitation to file money recovery suit will expire on 01march
