most important is the mode of informing him. whether done orally or in writing. If in writing, the period of filing criminal complaint seems to be over. In that case your only remedy would be to file civil summary suit for recovery of the amount. However, if you just informed him orally and not in writing, you may re deposit the cheque and this time after bounce inform him in writing and within time frame file the criminal complaint

If you have not followed up within the time by issuing demand notice and filing a complaint within a month from the date of expiry of 15 days of service of notice, you can only file a civil suit for recovery.
