You should file a Suit for Recovery under Order 37 of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC) based on a negotiable instrument or bill of exchange. This is a summary suit where the defendant cannot defend the case unless they obtain 'Leave to Defend' from the court. The court decides the case quickly, usually within months, bypassing long trial stages.
