Sir in case of recovery suit the limitation period is of three years to acknowledge the debt. Since you have exceeded the limitation period you can give a legal notice for returning your money if he doesn't respond then along with recovery suit you have to file a con donation of delay application and explain to court as why there was a delay.

if court accepts your application and condone delay than only your recovery proceeding can start.

Also you can file a cheating case against him under 420 IPC

Send him a legal notice to ask for money.

If he does not respond then file a summary suit for recovery of money.

Also you may file a police complaint against the said incumbent.

The limitation period for repayment of the debt is 3 years if the acceptance of the loan has not been given by borrower within that period.

Since , the said amount was given in the year 2011, now the recovery is not possible as per law.

The said loan was given through cheque , but what security you have taken from him for the said payment.

For proper guide, you should give complete details.

1. To recover the money you can file civil suit for recovery of money within 3 years from the date of payment.

2. Since civil suit takes time and costs as well its advisable that you file case of cheating also.

3. Once police registers FIR and proceed to arrest the accused person you can expect refund of your money soon with interest.

The loan amount can be recovered if you have evidences and also the it should be within three years from the date of lending the money.

Do you have any correspondence from him for having admitted the loan amount borrowed from you within the last three years as on this date, so that you can fix the liability and file a recovery suit.
