Dear Sir, as per your query,
The limitation period for recovery of money is 3 years. Since 7 years have passed, you need to file a delay condonation application in the court. Steps you can follow before filing a case in court:
Collect Proof: Gather any evidence of the ₹14 lakh cash payment — such as messages, witnesses, or recordings showing he took money for a job promise.
Send Legal Notice: Have a lawyer send a legal notice demanding full repayment within 15 days, warning of criminal and civil action if he fails.
File Police Complaint: Lodge an FIR for cheating and criminal breach of trust, attaching all available proof.

Have you any proof of alleged payment in cash? For recovery, the law prescribe limitation of three years. Only in exceptional circumstance it can be cover up. Otherwise, after seven years claims of recovery is barred by limitation.
Dear Sir,
Money Recovery Suit under Order XXXVII CPC (if any written proof like note, acknowledgment, message exists).
Otherwise Summary Suit for Recovery (ordinary recovery suit).
Lekin civil case me limitation 3 years hoti hai transaction ke date se —
Par aap “continuous demand and refusal” aur “fraud discovered later” ka ground lekar delay condone karwa sakte hain (Court me Section 5 Limitation Act ka application)
Agar Police Action nahi leti
Aap yeh kar sakte hain:
Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. application magistrate ke samne — FIR register karne ke order ke liye.
Ya private complaint under Section 200 Cr.P.C. directly magistrate ke samne file kar dijiye.
