you can file a FIR against the developer for fraud and cheating. Secondly, the cheque which is being dishonoured due to insufficient funds also can be used to file a case against the person. File a cheque bounce case under section 138 of negotiable instrument act ( keep in mind the limitation period) against the person, send him a legal notice and if he does not reply back to you then you can file a criminal case against him to recover your money.
