You have to file the check bounce case under section 138 of the Negotiable instruments Act. However, before you move any such complaint, you'll have to send a demand notice within 15 days from date of check bounce. Any such complaint can be moved at the place where the check have bounced.

You can file the case under Section 138 and 142 of the Negotiable Instrument Act at the place/Bank where the cheque was presented for encashment. FIR can be filed at the place where the cheque was bounced. Police after recording FIR shall send the case to court of competent Jurisdiction. Court will issue summons to the accused person who after appearance get bail thus the case will move further
