What is the evidence of giving the loan viz. do you have any promissory note etc... to prove that the loan was indeed given. However, u/s.139, Presumption in favour of holder It shall be presumed, unless the Contrary is proved, that the holder of a cheque received the cheque of the nature referred to in section 138 for the discharge, in whole or in part, or any debt or other liability].

You have to prove legal liability.

You have got the cheque. issued legal notice. whether he replied or not. if not you have got a prima facie case in your favour. moreover regarding the transaction prove by oral evidence.

The cheque bounce cases comes under 138 negotiable instrumentation act .Under this act,there is not any procedure for compelling the person for returning the money .But only the punishment for the offence made .
So do not think that via criminal case,you can take the money back from him .However you can create pressure on him for compromise .
Also file recovery suit or what so ever in civil for recovering your money .

basing on the evidence you adduce in the court your chances of getting money is based.

the another important thing i want to make it clear that under N.I. act the criminal court will only punish the accused for his offence and this is the motive of criminal law and compulsory recovery of money under this act is not possible

for recovery of money u have to file suit for recovery of money in civil court
