Cheque bounce case filing in court

Two cheques issued to me by a builder company as refund money bounced. I gave them a Lawyer notice stationg to pay in 15 days otherwise will file a court case. They didnt respond and now I want to file this case in Tis Hazari cour Delhit.My lawyer says I have to hand over those original bounce cheques and cheque returned letter from bank and original stamp paper agreement between me and builder as this cheques issued were part of that agreement, to file this case in the court. I ahve to handover these to my lawyer so that he can submit these as original while filing this case in court.

My question is whether these original are required while filing the case in the court as If I handover the original to the lawyer, I will not have any proof with me except the photocopies.

Secondly, how much time ( Months or years)after filing the case may take this case to dicide?

Pl see link hereunder  for what seems to be a good summary of what to do if a cheque bounces :

https://www.indialegalhelp.com/files/guidechequebouncing.pdf

As per that, you will see yourself, originals are required along with the Complaint. 

As suggested by Mr. Nadeem you can get Court Certified Copies for your record.

From that link , I come to know that certain amount of court fee is required to file the case  as shown here in Madhya Pardesh is as

When the amount of dishonored cheque involved in the complaint is more than Rupees Five Lakhs Minimum Rupees Twenty OneThousand, plus three percent on the amount in excess of Rupees Five Lakhs subject to maximum Rupees One Lakh Fifty Thousand

Would like to know what is fee in Delhi court and who pays that means I am filing this case against the builder who issued me dud cheques means I have to pay this court fee while filing the case or this fee is to be deposited later on?
