A.You have to immediately send him a legal notice for cheque bounce and demand the amount within 15 days of the dishonor of cheque , if the person does not reply to the legal notice then you have to file a complaint before the magistrate that comes under the jurisdiction of your bank branch within 45 days of sending the legal notice. Even a day delay in this matter will make this complaint non maintainable so you have to act swiftly.
