At present wat is the date of your check bouncing if it's in the limit than you can file a criminal complaint against that person in the court. If your check date is expired you can file a civil recovery suit in the civil court.

Hi, actually the police doesn't have power to come and arrest you under cheque bounce case without any warrant except under some undue influence. He is just threatening you to settle the dispute without approaching court of law. Let him initiate proper legal proceedings before the competent court if at all he wants to recover the money if it is legally recoverable.
Thank you

Formerly when sec 138 was introduced the mode of complaint in case of a cheque dishonour was to lodge a complaint with the police. Later on the method was changed and police were prohibited from entertaining the matter and complainant is now required to approach court only. But it is mandatory for him to first get a legal notice issued to you.
So, wait till you get a legal notice for payment.
