Your query is silent when was your cheque bounced? Is period of 45 days have expired?
If no, then you can send a legal notice to the accused under Section 138 Negotiable Instrument Act thereby stating in case they fail to make the payment you will file 138 criminal complaint and under Section 420 IPC before appropriate forum.
Further you can further file a summary suit under Order 37 rule 2 thereby seeking a decree for recovery of said amount
The internet is not a lawyer and neither are you.
