If you have sent a notice over the owner for payment of amount of which check was issued, immediately after the check was bounced then you can file a complaint for the offence punishable under section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act. as far as eviction is concerned the bank cannot evict you from the flat merely on the basis of unpaid installment. Bank is bound to take order of eviction and taking possession over the house from the DRT. if Bank produces search order of DRT then you should make an application before the DRT and take time for eviction. Your case is little bit complicated because you did not give a notice immediately after check was bounced. but finally Bank cannot remove you from the house merely on the basis of unpaid installment
1.Do not worry as the creditor can not tak physical possession of the flat as along as you are not evicted through legal recourse.
2.So default in making the EMI may give a temporary hassles toyou in the falt abut you can not be forcefully ejected from the house.
4.So recover the SD you can over stay in the property without paying rent so the arrears rent can be adjusted with SD.This remains suitable option to you in the circumstances.
Since you have not issued the notice of cheque bounce under limitation period of 30 days now your 138 NI Act,Complaint is not maintainable.
So first issue a legal notice for refund(15 days) if within 15 days he does not refund then you need to file a summary suit before the Civil court to recover your amount. As payment was done by cheque and there is agreement the facts are apparent so file a summary suit fir recovery of amount, this shall proceed fast than normal suit.
Also bank cannot evict you as tenant on lapse of loan as first bank has to take possession of property under Sarfesi Act than for physical possession they have go through the eviction procedure in court.
Even anyone from bank threaten you or manhandle file a police complaint bank cannot force you out.
Immediately proceed to get refund of the security deposit
You can send him a notice for cheque bouncing and file a criminal Complaint in court for cheque bouncing. You can also file a suit for recovery of your SD from him.
You can file cheque bounce case if it is not barred by limitation.
Or else you can file a money recovery suit on the basis of the cheque and other evidences for having given him the SD earlier.
Have you issues the statutory legal demand notice?, if not first serve the notice on him and then plan for further legal actions against him.
Hello,
You should have filed a case under 138 for the cheque bounce issue.
Send a legal notice to him at the earliest, if he does not refund the same then go the police and lodge a complaint against him.
Also, you may file a summary suit to claim the compensation.

issue legal notice to owner to refund your security deposit
2) if he does not refund continue in possession till SD is adjusted
3) inform bank you would vacate flat on refund of your security deposit or till it is adjusted
Issue legal notice to the land lord to refund the security he has to refund it.
Also bank cannot evict you like this a tenant has his all right the bank also has to seek permission from court to evict you.
If bank employee or anybody try to force register a police complaint.
Also inform the senior bank manager or official through written letter that you are legal tenant and they cannot evict you force you are legally entitled and further inform them that the employee are forcing you without permission if.this time they do so you will lodge a complaint
Bank cannot put a seal on their own, they have to follow due process of law for this.
The dispute is between the landlord and the bank hence you cannot be forcibly evicted by bank for any reason.
You can file an injunction agaisnt the bank and the landlord for this threats and unlawful activity.
You please contact a lawyer and file a suit in the court to claim compensation,
They surely have the power to seal the premises.
