You can always file a suit for recovery of amount under order 37 CPC against all kinds of negotiable instruments. Check is one of them..

Also u can proceed for the FIR as checque dishonoring is an offense and if proved that the person has dishonestly issued you a cheque and it is dishonored then he can get 3 years life imprisonment but it will not give you mone back.

489-F is non bailable and compoundable offense and usually bail is granted in this offense when the complainant forrgives. Even if the bail is granted you can still persue both the civil and criminal cases. For more you can consult me at [email protected]
