Deposit the cheque and if it bounces you can send him notice through a lawyer. If he still does not return then you can file a civil or criminal case under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 or Sec 417 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) 1960.

Civil and criminal both type of cases could be filed. But objective is to collect the money. If you're sure that friend doesn't have any property/ money.....you can pray he get some lottery. Other way he could face imprisonment upto 2 years, if case files under negotiable instruments act
