Yes, you can recover the amount legally, but limitation is critical in your case. A money recovery suit based on a handwritten document (promissory note/acknowledgment) must be filed within 3 years from the date of execution. Since 3 years and 2 days have already elapsed, your claim is prima facie time-barred, unless you can establish: - Any acknowledgment of debt by the debtor within the 3-year period (written/signed), or - Any part-payment made within limitation (with proof), which extends limitation. If no such extension exists, a civil suit may be dismissed on limitation grounds. Immediate steps: 1. Issue a legal notice demanding payment—this may elicit acknowledgment. 2. Check for any messages, bank entries, or written confirmations to revive limitation. 3. If a cheque was issued and dishonoured, proceedings under Section 138 NI Act can be considered (subject to conditions). His status as a government employee does not give you automatic recovery rights or salary attachment without a court decree. Act immediately—any further delay weakens your position irreversibly.
