Go under 138 NI Act

yes, file u/s 138 NI Act.

File a complaint under section 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act, as it is a specific offence and section 420 has nothing to do with it unless and until you prove intention of cheating on part of your employer, from the very beginning, which is very hard to prove...

Besides, 138 NI Act, the employee should file his claim under payment of wages act or any other corresponding act for his salary.

File a cheque bounce case and also file a complaint before the labour Officer.

do

a. file a case u/s 138 NI Act, also go for writ under article 226 read with article 23, As if payment is not made it amounts to forced labour. You can further proceed under other sections as per the advice of above said experts, but don't forget to move High Court, otherwise you can be quite late in getting justice in 138 etc.

138 is the best
