one step that i would suggest before going in for criminal/civil litigation is to complain before the banking ombudsman and see what comes out from it.

NSC MUST BE LYING IN BANK. NOT ENCASHED.YOU MAY TAKE BACK. IF THEY DONT RETURN THAN U CAN FILE A SUIT AND IF NSC ENCASHED U MAY FILE CR. COMPLAINT ALSO.
