Cheque for Rs. 260000 bounced due to insufficient funds
Sir in 2009 a cheque issued to my company bounced due to insufficient funds. This amount is actually the refund of excess amount paid on account of a particular purchase. Within 30 days , as per NI act, I issued a notice for payment of amount. There was no reply from them. Then after 30 days i hired a local lawyer and we filed case in Chennai City Civil court. After so many hearings , in Dec 2009 the court gave verdict in my favour. Since this verdict I have been calling my lawyer to know about the status but he says that we will have to wait. There is no proper response. Now we are in 2016 and still there is no progress.
Kindly let me know what I should do. whether I take all the case related docs and give it to another lawyer? pls guide me.

Thanks very much sir for your prompt reply.
1) court verdict is under sec 37 of CPC for recovery of Principal together with interest @ 36%.
2) how do I know what all assets the defendant has? Is it the duty of my lawyer or I have to do it.
3) do i have to intimate my lawyer that i am going to engage another lawyer for further proceedings and court record search?
Thanks
vijay
