You need to file a cheque bounce case in the jurisdictional magistrate's court. For that, first you need to issue a legal notice to the drawer of the cheque within a month from the date of return of the cheque from the bank calling upon him to pay the cheque amount within fifteen days from the date of receipt of that notice. If he does not, you may file the case within one month from the expiry of fifteen days time.

A legal notice calling upon to pay the amount of the cheque is to be issued on the drawee of the cheque within 30 days from the date of dishonour of the cheque giving the drawee clear 15 days time to make the payment. If the payment is not made u can file a private complaint before the jurisdictional magistrate within 30 days after the expiry of the 15 days time.

3rd once you collect that memo within 15 days issue legal notice to him,(make sure that that notice should be reached to them, u should followup that process till that notice reach to them)
4th so burden on there shoulders so with in 15 days they have to give the reply to that notice
5th within 15 days you have to file a criminal complaint before the court/ jurisdiction
