If three months from date of cheque have not passed, then submit it in your account. If it is bounced for insufficient funds, start proceedings as per 138 N.I.Act. Besides this you can file a civil suit for recovery also.

Present the cheque and on dishonor, file complaint u/s 138 NI Act.

Your father can lodge FIR for the cheating.

The money can be claimed through civil suit as well.
