Firstly contact your bank and get the cheque along with the return memo.
You can then file a summary suit which ian effective legal remedy to recover your cheque amount. The right way is to issue a legal notice for recovery of the cheque amount and after elapse of 15 days, file a summary suit in the appropriate court.

after bounce of the cheque we have to send legal action within 30 days but if we did not do so then we can’t file any criminal case.
But we have file a civil suit against that to get whole amount with interest and court processing fees and expenses.

The validity of the cheque is 3 months...you can deposit the cheque as many time as you want and your period of filing complaint under NI Act will start from the last memo.
The other remedy available with you is filing a civil suit for recovery.
You can also pursue criminal remedy and file a complaint for fraud, misrepresentation and cheating.
I have done these cases and they actually are very effective and facilitate recovery of money.
