First of all the FIR or criminal case regarding promissory note or recovery of money should not exists. It is a completely civil dispute. Even if we assume that a person took money in promise to return it after a fixed period of time, the process of recovering it is through NI ACT. It cannot be recovered through police or by lodging any FIR.
