Mr. Chetan, You can file a Complaint u/s 138 & 142 N.I.Act.

i think the transaction is legal in nature

if yes, then serve the party with legal notice under S. 138 of the NI Act, if he fails to pay the amount with in 15 days then u can file a complaint under S.138 of the NI act.

serving of notice is necessary.

keep all the documents in tact to prove the transaction, because u will have to prove the liability.

pls contact some local lawyer for professional work.
