No rent agreement was made.

Hi....you can file a case under 138 of N.I Act and after bouncing of the cheque you gave to send a legal notice to him by demanding the amount and you have to give fifteen days time to him for answering your legal notice and after the fifteen days time you have to file a case in jurisdictional court .
Thank you

Dear sir,
Police case cannot be filed on the basis of bounced cheque but you can file a cheating case with police against him. In the mean while file cheque bounce case immediately after issuing mandatory notice to him.
