We are further of the view that the claim is within the period of limitation of three years as the earliest cheque dishonoured is dated 15.03.2014 and the present petition was filed on 01.03.2017. We are of the view that it is a fit case for triggering the insolvency resolution process. Accordingly, we initiate the insolvency resolution process.
