My Uncle owes me Rs5,60,000. He had given me a blank cheque for the same. He has resigned from his job and asked me to present the cheque for encashment after he gets the PF amount. I deposited the cheque on 6th Jan 2011 in my account for an amount of Rs5,60,000. I deposited the cheque only after confirming that he had received an amount of Rs 6,91,000 in PF amount. The cheque bounced and a charge of Rs 165 was recovered by my bank from my account on 14th Jan 2011.
Apart from the bounced cheque I do not have any other documents to prove he owes me money. I have the following questions:
1.What course of action should I take to recover the money?
2.In case a notice is to be sent should it be through a lawyer or can I send him personally through Registered post?
3.In case I have to go in for a legal action, can I claim the expenses of the same from him?
Thanks in advance for any guidance from anyone.
