Loan Recovery

I loaned an amount to a person from another city and now he isn't responding to my calls. I went directly to him and asked him to return the same. Every time the same thing, "I ll repay with 15-20 days" and when i call back he says the same thing. This is being continued from last 2 years and now i amfed up and would like to proceed legally. For safety I took a cheque and Note during our intial transaction. What can we do about this and how long will the case last in court.
