Yes, you can file against a case against him.
Do you have a bank account in Delhi ? If you have then we can make Delhi as the jurisdiction.
And you will have to explain the details of the amount also which was given on loan.

Sir, i think you have a strong case as you have each and everything in writing but before seeing all the documents an opinion would be difficult to give. However, the cheques and the promissory note would surely help. However, i can tell you the exact remedy once i look at all the documents.
