This is my response to you:
1. Metropolitan magistrate has the jurisdiction to entertain 138 matters;
2. This could also depend on the jurisdiction of the case, the bank, the place of residence of complainant;
3. Consult a local lawyer and take steps.

The Courts where you have your Bank account will have jurisdiction over the matter. It is important to understand that you may deposit the Cheque at any Branch but only the Home branch will determine the jurisdiction under N. I. Instrument Act.
