hello sir,
if wife has not en cashed the said cheque given to her even after three months that means either she is going challenge the same in court or else its just that she will do it after some time moreover its a good thing for you as the moment it becomes time barred she cannot deposit and withdraw the same amount. not it does not amount to contempt of court.
