That cheque is important, you see the documents, particular cheque which has been returned and memo other returned indicates and deposited slip is enough for sending legal notice, after if he has not given proper reply u can file a case. Consult for brief discussion.

It is an offence both civil and criminal in nature.Once the complaint is filed under Sn.200 of Cr.P.C,the Court verifies the records and complaint and if satisfied records the sworn statement of the complainant on the same day and takes cognizance of the offence which means summons and warrant can be issued against the drawer for the offence.
Documents to be submitted are:
1) Statutory notice under sn.138 of N.I.Act
2) RPAD receipt
3) Cheque
4) Return memo from the bank

Dear sir,

Its a criminal matter, file a complaint with the nearest police station limits. If the person is missing who has not paid the cheque amount payable to you then first let police find him our, file s complaint then you can start further legal proceedings against them. Please feel free to contact on this matter.
