1) Yes, just get his work address and inform to HR the person working in your organization is liable to pay you such amount.

2) Or first inform in the police station NC against him and ask police to call him in the police station immediately.

Firslty, as per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that he has taken money from you, but now don’t have the intention to return.

Secondly, if you do not have his address then also you can serve him a legal notice.

Thirdly, now after a event judgement of Hon’ble High Court of Delhi, you can serve him through message or what’s app or mail.

Fourhtly, and you may also do it on his Facebook account.

Irrespective of the fact that whether he has saw it or not, your work seems to be completed once you send the same.

You can avail my services through Kaanoon.

Dear Sir,

Sending a legal notice is futile exercise since you are not having his address. Legal notice can be sent through whatsapp and again you have to approach by filing civil suit which you may not offer in regard to expenses. My advice is to approach police firstly. secondly you may approach his bank and try to collect his address saying that if they do not provide you will go to criminal court file private complaint for protecting a defaulter. Then file privateon complaint before court and file application u/s 91 Cr.P.C. calling for address of the that guy.

Section 91 in The Code Of Criminal Procedure, 1973

91. Summons to produce document or other thing.

(1) Whenever any Court or any officer in charge of a police station considers that the production of any document or other thing is necessary or desirable for the purposes of any investigation, inquiry, trial or other proceeding under this Code by or before such Court or officer, such Court may issue a summons, or such officer a written order, to the person in whose possession or power such document or thing is believed to be, requiring him to attend and produce it, or to produce it, at the time and place stated in the summons or order.

(2) Any person required under this section merely to produce a document or other thing shall be deemed to have complied with the requisition if he causes such document or thing to be produced instead of attending personally to produce the same.

(3) Nothing in this section shall be deemed-

(a) to affect sections 123 and 124 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 (1 of 1872 ), or the Bankers' Books Evidence Act, 1891 (13 of 1891 ) or

(b) to apply to a letter, postcard, telegram or other document or any parcel or thing in the custody of the postal or telegraph authority.

2. you can go to police and lodge complaint against such person, and file private complaint against such person, when the proceedings starts you can file an application under section 91 of code of criminal procedure means Summons to produce document or other thing: Whenever any Court or any officer in charge of a police station considers that the production of any document or other thing is necessary or desirable for the purposes of any investigation, inquiry, trial or other proceeding under this Code by or before such Court or officer, such Court may issue a summons, or such officer a written order, to the person in whose possession or power such document or thing is believed to be, requiring him to attend and produce it, or to produce it, at the time and place stated in the summons or order. even if you read section 92 of crpc you will understand clearly: if any document, parcel or thing in the custody of a postal or telegraph authority is, in the opinion of the District Magistrate, Chief Judicial Magistrate, Court of Session or High Court, wanted for the purpose of any investigation, inquiry, trial or other proceeding under this Code, such Magistrate or Court may require the postal or telegraph authority, as the case may be, to deliver the document, parcel or thing to such person as the Magistrate or Court directs.

If your efforts proved futile then you can send him a legal notice, but for that you need to have his address, instead you can send the same by whats-app chat message.

After which if he fails to respond or do not comply with the demand made, you may either lodge a criminal complaint with the local police for the offences of cheating or file a money recovery suit in a civil court.
