Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

I wanted to rent a place which was under construction in April 2010. The Owner promised the work will get over and the building will be ready for occupation by May 2010. Hence I gave 2 lac as rental advance. On agreed rent of 15,000 per month starting from June 2010.

The Owner did not finish the work as promised. I waited till July and expressed my disinterest in occupying the premises. I requested for refund of the rental advance and the owner agreed too. Still he has not paid me back. Two months back he gave me a cheque for 2 lacs but it was bounce due to insufficient balance.Later the owner said that he will pay me back along with interest. Now Pls suggest me what should I do. To get back the money with interest
