Dear Sir / Madam,

Since the cheque has bounced, you have not received the full agreed consideration; so the sale itself is null and void. You should sue for possession, if at all you have parted with the possession of the flat and on receipt of possession, return back the amount received by you after deducting your legal and other expenses from it. You continue to remain the lawful Owner of the property.

Regards,
