Sir immediately issue a demand legal notice by an advocate .If he doesn't repay you can file cheque bounce case against him which is a criminal case , and you can get the cheque amount in quick time.But issuance of legal notice prior to filing of case is mandatory.

Issue notice immediately within 30 days from the date you recived memo from the bank. Get the notice issued by Advocate to avoid any mistakes. Give him 15 days time for payment. If there is no reply from the defaulter file case within 30 days from the date of expiry of time given to the defaulter. THis time periods are crucial called as limitation period in law. Second option is to file a criminal complaint directly in court for cheating. Third option to file a civil case for recovery of money. Fourth is give a complaint to police for cheating.

Hello Sir,

Is there any agreement between you and your friend about its repayment, did you collected any security for it, if not you can do one thing, please take his signature on the promissory note, so that you can recover the amount. Now what you can do is sent him a legal notice U/sec. 138 of N.I.Act within 30 days from the date of cheque bounce, then you can able to file criminal complaint against him.
