It is unadvisable to file a criminal complaint, as a criminal complaint would not hold against the legal heirs. However, you can fil for Recovery of Suit as you rightly mentioned, u Order XXXVII. The Court will order the amount to be paid through Order XXXVII,and not through Section 138 Negotiable Instruments Act, as the Accused is dead. They may order for the payment of Interest as well.
