Hello,
After the cheque has bounced, there's a 30 day time limitation as per the negotiable instruments act to send a legal notice demanding money. After that, there's a 15 day's time to file a complaint before the Magistrate. A time period of 9 months in total is given to the Court to adjudicate the case.
Contact me on my credentials for further information.
