Time barred debt...

Hi Friends..

In a cheque bounce complaint, it is allegged by complainant that " I advanced amount in question in December 2015 and on same date accused issued a PDC of dated 12.12.2020, and on its due date i presented the cheque with my banker for encashment and bounced."

Is there any leagal enforceable debt ?

you can present the same to your bank on 12.12.20

Of course it is a legally enforceable debt for which PDC was drawn.

you have the cheque dated 12.12.2020 and it would appear that you agreed to receive the amount on 12.12.2020,you cannot file even checque bounce case upon the borrower until 12.12.2020 that too if the cheque is not honored, just approach him and ask your money or just wait till the cheque date matures.

your query does not make sense

Hi Frirnds, 

Sorry i mentioned wrongly the date of PDC as 12.12.2020, instead of 12.02.2020. in fact the complaint already has been filed.

My simple query is only that " Can a cheue be issued with such a post date, when original debt itself becomes time barred at the time of presentation of such cheque, being any debt recoved after five years is talready ime barred " 

As per N I Act, i think the date of issuance of cheque has no significance, but date of cheque is important.

If it is so that it will be big tool in the hands of such a person, who had time barred debt in his boks since lat ten years and after arranging the blank cheque of drawer, claims in court that he received the post dated cheque ten years back for the currunt date.

Thanks

1. Cheque Bounce case is a Criminal Case.  Criminal Liability starts from date of Cheque Bounce and not from date of amount Transaction.  Hence, in criminal cases, the debt CANNOT ever be "Time Barred". Taking or giving PDC is not any type of offence. Only thing that remains to be proven is the existance of the "legally enforceable liability" (which means the legitimate amount transaction).

2. Time Barred criteria can be used only in Civil Court while filing Recovery suits.

Yes it is enforceable. You can file complaint case u/s.138 N.I Act and also recovery case of cheque amount.
