1. Your time limit for filing case under N.I. Act is over,

2. You should have collected fresh cheque at that time only,

3. Now the only remedy left before you is to file a Recovery Suit.

1. Sorry, your lawyer has wasted precious time for cheque bouncing case. I wonder why.

2. Now civil suit for recovery of money is only option left.

3. To put more pressure, you can file criminal case of cheating as well.

4, Now engage another advocate to avoid further wastage of time.
