My father lent a person some money, and the only proof we have is a ₹50 lakh cheque from him, which is quite old. He has left the state and sometimes goes to Qatar, making it difficult to contact him. Whenever we ask for the money, he keeps saying, “I will give when I get it.”

What legal options do we have to recover our money? Can we take action based on the old cheque? Any advice would be appreciated.

Contact a lawyer and ask for the available options.

NAL. Slightly confused about the mode of payment. If you paid him via cheque, how do you still have the cheque?

What do you mean old cheque? Should have submitted cheque in bank and filed a cheque bounce case.

Post dated cheques are only valid for 3 months. If you have proof of payment to him then summary suit or get a fresh cheque and bounce it to initiate legal action
