What is the period of statute of limitations for the checks .. Is it permissible to open a communication on them?

A question from a reader said:
There are checks on which history may be approved by more than two years and six months, and despite that, the person in possession of the checks opened a communication with the police station, knowing that the checks are not sealed by the bank, and they were submitted to them four years and some of them are three years without the bank sealing them or putting his benefits and submitting that the checks were also in order to request a performance order and was rejected by the judiciary.
The question is, can a report be opened in expired checks of limitations for more than two years and six months?

The legal advisor, Dr. Youssef Al -Sharif, answers:
The basic principle is that the police receive the communications and have no abstaining from that, and the Public Prosecution shall be to dispose of the communication by preserving it due to the lack of proven crime.
However, the police can, and from the prosecution, address the bank withdrawn the checks to benefit from the balance of the balance on the date of the check entitled and the disposal is disposed of according to the bank’s statement, because a period of 6 months is called in the law the period of exchange limitations, that is, the bank refuses to exchange the check after that and does not prevent the benefit of the account or the balance, especially if the request to inquire is from an official authority, that is, whether the police or the prosecution or the judiciary to achieve a crime or not
