Get a good lawyer and defend urself in the court of law. Do not ignore the summons or u will end up paying if u ignore.

You need to attend court hearing and lead a good defence for NI 138 case

Sir, Please give complete and unabridged details, a genuinely lost cheque does not usually result into a legal notice or a lawsuit. Kishor Mehta

138 nia will hold only if he proves the legal liability that you possess over him to return that amount.so don't worry and attend the hearing.

Your matter is suspecious having some pitfall, if not having all and every pit falls. You come out with truth as it is a matter related to criminal complaint u/s 138 NI Act where double the amount of instrument or 2 years imprisonment or both are punishable. An cleverness may put you in problems, if not compromised out of court. Thereafter the complainant should withdraw his cause of action and further proceedings. Times are not so innocent as you are narrationg with the reason, as to why a/c was not closed then and there just after of lost of cheque. Burden lies upon you to justify your menseria.

complainent would have no reciept of payment, even he had not shown that amount given to you , just take advice of a lawyer who is good in cross examination.

What is the time gap between your FIR and date of the legal notice?  Your first FIR was against unknown persons. Now you go to the same police station and file another FIR for theft of the cheque leaf, against the person who has sent you legal notice. The court summons received by you is to be dealt with separately. You file copies of FIRs as evidence in your favour in the court. How did he says that he paid you Rs.2,50000/-. If he claims that he paid by cash, it is an offence under the Income Tax Act.
