Yes, dishonoring of a cheaque is a penal offence under Pakistan penal code sec. 489-f. with a dishonor slip (issued by bank) and the cheque(Bounced), you should go to the police station to lodge the F.I.R under 489-f of PPC. In the court you will have to prove that the cheque was issued for any finencial liability and is dihonored, this is enough evidence to convict him. he will not even entitled for bail untill pay your money back.
