Dear Sir / Madam,
Since you have given the loan to the partnership firm, the partners are responsible to repay it back to you. It makes better sense to elude your cousin brother and directly tell the partners to repay it back immediately to you with simple interest @ 18% per annum from the date of realization of your cheque till the date of the partner's giving you a cheque in repayment of the loan amount. Tell the partners clearly in your letter to them, that if they fail to repay the loan amount within 10 days, you will report the matter to the Police. After a week, should you not receive the cheque, lodge an FIR against the partners in the Police. Re-post query if there is no Police action within three days of your lodging the FIR.
