I have two checks given by party totaling 15 lacs which bounced due to insufficient funds. I am aware of 138 case as one possibility.
Please suggest under what category I can file the recover in civil suit. How much will be legal charges in terms of % court fees. What is the usual tenure for the decision from court and how much the lawyer is likely to charge in Pune city.
Please comment.

You can go for summary suit under Order 37 of the Code of Civil Procedure (1908) . A summary suit is different from an ordinary suit as it does not give the accused the right to defend himself. Instead, the defendant has to procure permission from the court to do so. However, remember that summary suits can be availed of only in recovery matters, be it promissory notes, bills of exchange or cheques. "Since a summary suit is a civil proceeding that does not have the force of a criminal charge, the chances of imprisonment are remote in such matters.
