1. You can file a criminal case for cheating and breach of trust as he has taken your money with the intention to cheat.

2. If a cheque was issued to you then you should present it for encashment to the bank whereupon a demand notice for dishonour of cheque can be issued to him and thereafter a prosecution for cheque bounce can be launched.

3. To recover the money which was given to him you are required to file a lawsuit for recovery of money in the court.

Hi, you can deposit the cheque to the bank it will dishonor and within 30 days of the dishonor you have to issue legal notice to that person and thereafter you have to file a complaint before the magistrate court.

2. Based on the promissory notes you have to file a civil suit for recovery money. You will definitely get your money.

He will be given an opportunity to defend himself in consonance with the principles of natural justice. The outcome of a legal proceedings is always uncertain. Audio and video recordings can be used as evidence.

You can get the cheque bounced immediately and issue him a legal demand notice demanding cheque amount as well as demand promissory note amount too. Let him give a reply, if he is not complying with the demand, you may file money recovery suit in civil law as well as a criminal case under section 138 NI Act. Consult a local advocate and proceed as per his advise in all such further issues.

The video and audio proof may come to your support to corroborate your pleading in prosecuting the accused/defendant.
