Following are the procedures in the instant case.
The accused is a living person. He is not there in his permanent address. Summons and warrants issued against him in the permanent address. The complainant is sure that the accused is evading the processes of the court by leaving the place of residence or by some other acts.
You look, what is the endorsement made by the police in the unexecuted returned warrant. Make sure that the accused willfully evaded warrant. Then the court shall proceed with the procedure to attach the properties of the accused and declare him an absconder. You don't worry, all these are the procedures of the court and you and your counsel need watch these procedures to expediate it.
police shall file report of the revenue authorities regarding the property of the accused and then the court shall proceed to attach the property of the accused if any and declare the accuse as an absconding accused and move the case in to the long pending case record. Case shall not be lost due to the willful non appearance of the court. Absconding warrant against the accused will be pending without any stipulation and whenever you trace out the accused , inform the matter to the nearest police station or concerned court and arrest the accused .

first find out the whereabouts of the accused and then file apetition to hand over the warrant to yourself and try to get it executed with the help of police.
this is the general procedure adopted in 138 cases.

Mr.VIJAYAN is right.
If the accused could not be found, try to attach his properties which includes movable and immovable.
But in the EP, you may have to list out the possible things that are to be attached/ seized from his residence.

in the mean time you may try to recover the amount through civil suits by filing the said cheque as suit for recovery of money
