Hello Sir/Mam
I need your expert advice, I have paid 5.51 lakh amount to builder in Dec - 2011, but he was not able to start construction then i got the news that he is cheating people to make money by showing boundary wall, garden, future plan. Finally we asked builder to return our amount and finally on 02-Apr-2012, I was able to get post-dated cheque (30-may-2012) from him. We collected basically 2 cheques they are 1.51 on my name and 4 lakh on name of my wife.
After that on 6th of April 2012 builder and his wife got arrested under IPC 420, as he collected money from other people as well. I have also submitted my application in same FIR.
As per below news, He collected around 60-70 Crore as per news

He got bail after 2 months. This 420 Case is in Indore court now.
I have submitted my cheque on 27th Aug and it got bounced on 28th Aug. Now I am planning to send him legal notice and will file case under 138. Can someone please guide me advocate in Indore and what would be the total fee for complete case and how much I need to submit in court.
There are 20 other people cheated by this builder and I know these guys as well, once we get good lawyer, we all can plan to file case against this builder.
Kindly suggest how I should proceed in this case, this is my hard earned money and I want to teach him lesson that law and order is always on top and people like him looting money on name of property specially in Indore shoud be in jail.
