Besides summary suit for recovery under Order XXXVII CPC you must file criminal complaint under the provisions of Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.
Court fees differ from state to state, consult a local lawyer.
The court fees paid shall be included in the decree which shall be recoverable from the defendant/ judgement debtor i.e., builder.
