I suppose by `overdraft cheque' you mean Current Account cheque.

Now to lock in the Accused to get your money back you have to find his hiding address and serve summons on him.

Otherwise like many other cases your cheque bounce case too will get dismissed in the long run. Or the case is of no use to you.

This could be nothing else but writing off him from your memory once for all instead of wasting time and money.

If you do know other people who have been fooled too, then try joining hands with them and give a collective complaint with the local police and file a complaint before the court jointly.

But all may be futile in these days where moral values have gone down and because India is big for him to hide.

Maybe even if you get hold of him he may sing the song of bankrupt person.

Our place is full of like these type of cheaters. They do dare the public without repaying the money borrowed. So you too are one of the victim before these types of unscrupulous person.
