Dear sir

Dear Karan
It's depend on the conduct or procedure of bank, if the bank send any legal notice to you in 2011 or 2010, the time limitation will be start after that notice and within three years the bank can file a civil suit for recovery against you and bank also have right to file a criminal case u/s 406 of IPC against you.
