Under Indian law, you can file a legal case against your supplier for dishonoring the cheque. This is a criminal offense under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. You can seek compensation for the bounced cheque amount, as well as legal costs and damages.

I paid a property developer in India a sum of money for a plot but due to unforeseen circumstances, I decided not to purchase it and requested a refund. The developer returned a portion in cash and the remaining ₹1,10,000 through two checks of ₹55,000 each. Dated June 29, 2015, he marked one check for withdrawal on August 5th and the other on August 10th, 2016. After two bounces, the first check cleared but the second bounced three times due to insufficient funds. The developer assured me of prompt payment but I haven’t received the remaining ₹55,000.
