you cannot attached his property directly. taccording to me the better way is that, you should file a complaint u/s. 138 of N. I. Act and symulteneously you should file a civil (SUmmary)suit for recovery of your amount. it is littlebit difficult but possible to findout the survey no of the property from the location/area where the property is situated.
1. If not time barred, present the cheque, if it bounces, issue legal notice and then file a complaint in the Magistrate's Court in accordance with Section 138 of NI Act.
2. You may file a money recover suit and seek attachment of his immovable property before judgement. However, obtaining ABJ (attachment before judgement) is not easy. You need to produce documents of title of the borrower and encumbrance certificate. You should also show urgency for such an attachment.
