You can file both criminal {cheque bouncing case} and civil case {for recovery of cheque amount with interwst and expenses}.In criminal case accused will get punishment {imprisonment up to two years and fine up to twice of cheque amount or both}.both the criminal and civil case may file simultaneously.
