Criminal action aims at punishing the accused and not the refund of money.

Civil action aims at recovery of money with interest.

You are entitled to both the actions, subject to law of limitation i.e. you claims are within the period of limitation prescribed by law.

i would advice you to take some legal action against him...

as for as your cheques are concerned you can get double of the your cheque amount plus the 2 year of imprisonment to the accused under section 138 of N.I instrument act..

and beside this you can file some other cases as well against him....
