It is suggested that you deposit the cheque and when it gets bounced, you send a legal notice to the concerned person.

If money is not returned within fifteen days then you file a case under 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act.

That is a recourse for quick recovery of the money. Otherwise you can file a simple recovery suit to get your money back, but that is a lenghty process.
