cheque fraud

Dear experts, I am from Surat. I posted my query earlier regarding cheating by friend from Mumbai whom I helped with 5 lacs rupees in 2011. When he stopped returning the money and send fake cheques all bounced; I filed the cheating case under negotiable instruments act Sec 131 as my advocate and experts from forum advised. After court send notices/summons to him at his address around 3-4 times none are served b'cause he was never available. Now my advocate advised me to file the case in Mumbai where he belongs b' cause as per new ruling of SC the case has to be filed in the jurisdiction where the act happened. Its almost 3+ years now. Should I have to restart the process of filing the case again; now in Mumbai. Does the court again send the notice knowing they were never received at his earlier address. Guide me pls. the way forward... Appreciate if I could get the name and mobile no. of advocate from Mumbai... Regards
