The proposed future Large Hadron electron collider provides sufficient center of mass energies, , to probe heavy particles decaying into
boson of mass
. In this work we present a study to produce one such heavy CP even scalar H of mass
through charged-current production mode where
, where hadronic decay of
boson is considered to reconstruct
. Due to the presence of missing energy and forward jet in this channel, it is challenging to reconstruct
with above final state and thus we employed three different reconstruction methods and discuss the significance of each one. For this analysis we consider a benchmark value of
GeV and
TeV with an assumed luminosity of 1 ab
