Hand loan default by a friend
I had given a Hand loan to one of my close friend amounting to around 15 Lakhs. He had agreed to repay in 6-8 Months and given me four cheques and an e stamp based agreement mentioning all the details of amount and cheque number and signed with 2 witnesses who were common friends. However now I am in a financial difficulty and asked him repay some amount at the earliest. He is refusing and stating that he has another 4 months time as per agreement and I must wait till then. In argument I said I will produce a cheque and take further legal route, he seems not worried and said to ahead and present the cheque. This transaction does not involve any interest and I have paid him by cash. I was employed earlier and have sufficient proofs and IT returns filed for the amount I have paid to him.
I want to understand what are my chances if intake legal route and what will be the time frame if i take legal route.
What are the other options, he has not given his address proof. But I know his residence. And I have not taken promisary note, is it required along with cheques ??
Thanks in advance for your valuable advice
