My friend gave me a promissory note 20 years ago and now wants me to pay the amount with interest. Can he still file a cheque bounce case against me after so long?

Under the Limitation Act, 1963, the limitation period for filing a suit on a promissory note is 3 years from the date of default. As 20 years have passed, your friend cannot file a suit on the promissory note or a cheque bounce case related to it.
