First you submit the cheques to your bank. If the bank dishonoured it, they will return it back with a memo or slip stating the reason of dishonour. If the cheques dishonoured for insufficiency of fund maintaining by the opposite party first you have to send him a demand notice within stipulated time and give him a chance to fulfill your demand. Wait fifteen days. If he does not bother to pay within that time you have to file a case under NI Act for recovery and punishment.

Very good sir. It means you have two cheques in your name given to you by your maternal uncle of 2 lacs each and you have paid him 4,50,000/- as in advance for a flat, even you don't have the agreement to prove the above fact as he had already destroyed the agreement. My question is what where you doing when he destroyed the agreement? And can we actually prove that he took the money to give you a flat in the court? Yes or no. Answer these questions of mine via LawRato and I will help you to get your money back with legal proceedings cause justice can be delayed but it cannot be denied

Dear client,
Since the cheque given by your maternal has dishonoured first you have to send notice to him under section 138 of N. I. Act.,seeking the amount in cheque bounced to be paid and in the event of his failure to do so you can file a case under 138 of NI Act alongwith a complaint under section 419 and 420 of Indian penal code.
And if he enered into an agreement with you in the capacity of developer then you can also file a case before consumer forum even though your agreement has been torned although difficult to stand this case but still can tried after going through documents.

Look Cheater is Cheater. He has no other relationship in the world. Therefore, if you take action against your said Famous Maternal Uncle, then other person who already cheated by your uncle can proceed against him.
Firstly you deposit one Cheque in your Bank for encashment and if it bounced, then proceed under section 138 of NI Act with the advise of your Local Ld. Advocate within 30 days from the date of said bounce.
