You have to again bounce the cheque if the time of cheque three months from the date of cheque not complete. And after the bounce of cheque again send to the notice to him. If the money not refund. You may file a complaint under second 138 n I act.

You can file a civil complaint under section 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881 before Judicial Magistrate of the concerned jurisdiction.
I hope that the legal notice has been submitted within 30 days of return of memo asking for payment of the amount due. Further, also presume that the time for filling complaint as per legal notice has not been expired.
