Since the cheque got bounced on 6.2.2012, still you have time. 30 days has not expired (because February has only 28 days).
Issue the Statutory now without wasting any further time and save limitation.

Without wasting time anymore send notice asap.

I do agree with the advice of Anirudh.

You can even again deposit the cheques and can get those again bounced if the validity of those has not expired and thereafter can issue notices.
