But there are instances that if your proved through your statement of account that subsequent cheques have been passed or issued at a period to substantiate the fact that the said cheque is more than four years and it was given to your friend in good faith, then you can establish your defence. However, you are liable for the amount so claimed as per notice issued under section 138. This issue needs to be settled out of court.
