NI Act as it stands today, it is not a recovery proceeding. Recoveries happen through these proceedings mainly if parties settle the matter. Else these are criminal proceedings. Court can convict and punish the guilty. You may have to separately file recovery proceedings also.

The surety given will be forfeited.
The accused's property will be forfeited and proceedings of 82 / 83 will be initiated and thereafter he will be declared PO.
you may proceed to recover money from his immovable property confiscated. Kindly check for appopriate provision in CrPC.
