Owner not returning security deposit

My owner is not returning my security deposit after 3 months of vacating the house. Last week he gave me a cheque which was 13,000 less than the original amount. But today the cheque has bounced. I want to take legal steps against him and get my money back. What should I do?

You can take legal action against him u/s 138 of N I Act

Make a police complaint under section 406 and 420: file a suit before small consumer forum , complaint u/s 138 for check bounce.

Agreed to the advocates...

In bangalore never vacate till you get your security deposit

How to file a suit before small consumer forum? To make a police complaint do I need a lawyer?

What is small consumer forum??

You dont need advocate for lodging FIR.

Dear Friend,

Please issue a legal notice and calling and demanding him to pay the security deposit amount, and later you have to file a criminal case under section 138 of NI act.

Please contact me to do the needful.

Please file a complaint with the police, under who's jurisdiction the house is, and approach a lawyer to apply for a legal suit. Not sure about the sections, but you can file a case for recovery, and 420 (cheating), as he has attempted to cheat you...

Here, you got your cheque bounced given by owner, so you can take legal action under provision made available in 138 of N. I. Act
