Cheque forgery

Hi Experts, 

I have a question here,,, (on behalf of a friend)

A man tricked my friend's dad and obtained 2 signed cheques from him. The motive behind is an old land issue which my friend's dad was supposed to register for the accused. 

The accused took some money by depositing one cheque to one X person, the cheque is in court now and is about to get cleared.

Regarding the second cheque, the Victim (friend's dad) has come to know that the accused has forged it and taken some money again with some Y person. Accused has signed on the victim's cheque, Which I think is a serious offense. The cheque is still wtih Y person and the accused has promised to get it back by settling the money with Y person.

Can you please advise what legal action the victim can take here against the accused. The matter is pending with their Village panchayat. The village panchayat is in favor of the accused (based on caste power)

What is the best way to trap the accused on the basis of forgery? or any other advise?

Thanks for your reply,

 

The cheque is 3-4 years old. Is that fine? It was a blank cheque that was misused by the accused by forging.

Also, do I need to have the cheque with me if I am giving a complaint? At present the cheque is with the third person (Y)
