The bank could not have resorted to abusing. Normally the limitation period would be seen as three years. In case you have issued cheques, three years period would be counted from the date of cheque. Secondly, if the bank has filed a criminal case on the basis of dishonour of your cheque for which you must have received a notice, then you will have to contest that.
