Dear client,
First of all, try to convince him, negotiate with him but do remember if the cheque is drawn with date in it then it's validity is 3 months from date of its issue, so if you are closer to the limitation then don't waste the time , submit the cheque for encashment to your banker, it will bounce during presentation,get the cheque bounce memo, hire a lawyer issue a demand notice immediately and in case of failure of other side, go for filling the complaint under section 138 of NI act, you will get your money.
Thank you.

U may deposit the cheque & let the cheque get bounce..
Once the cheque is bounced, you can send him a legal notice demanding the said amount by giving him 15 days time to repay the same...
If not paid by the other person, then u can file a suit u/s 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act.
