80 Lacs bounced cheque

No now you can only file a civil suit for recovery of the said amount and you have to pay the court fees upon the same and the same can only be filed in the Hon'ble HIgh Court as the amount is Rs.80 lacs lower courts have no jurisdiction.

You have done very big mistake by not filing the case U/s 138 of N.I. Act.

Note : If the said business transaction is bases on invoice/bill so make sure the Civil Suit be filed under the Provisions of Order XXXVII CPC.
