If your matter is pending in Court and the judge has ordered that a penalty will be imposed in case the cheque gets dishonoured then let the Court decide the issue first. If you still want to initiate an action you can send a legal notice intimating the accused about dishonour of cheque.

File another complaint under section 138 of NI Act for that cheque which has bounced.
That person can also be held liable by the court for an offence under section 420 IPC for cheating the mediator. because he failed to oblige whatever he had said before the mediator.
