Question regarding cheque bounce
Sir, I have given Rs 60 lacs to a builder for investment, I got this money by selling my land which was on my mother' s name. He gave me post dated cheque of 75 lacs after 6 months of recieving money. That cheque got bounced last week due to insufficient funds. I talked to him and he refuses to give my money back. Suggest me that what should i do? Also tell me about the court fees for both criminal and civil case. What punishment he may get and how can my money got recovered?
