Legal notice needs to be issued within 30 days from the date of dishonour of cheque. Ask him to give the money within 15 days of receipt of notice. If he fails, you have to file a complaint within 30 days counting from the expiry of said 15 days.
You can file a case in Mumbai as you are residing in Mumbai.

Dear sir not now and here the skills of defense comes in operation.
This is criminal offense and jurisdiction will be where the offense is committed that is where the cheque is bounced and not where the cheque is presented.
HERMANN CASE IS LATEST AUTHORITY IN THE MATTER, PL FIND IMPORTANT VIEW OF THE SUPREME COURT IN THIS MATTER QUOTED IN RECENT MUMBAI HC CITATION.
paragraph 26 in Herman Electronics (Supra), it
appears that the learned counsel for the complainant had contended that
the principle that debtor may seek the creditor should be applied in
such cases.
However, that argument was rejected by the Supreme Court
by following observations in paragraph 27.
“27. We regret that such a principle cannot be
applied in a criminal case. Jurisdiction of the
Court to try a criminal case is governed by the
provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code and
not on common law principle.”
