The acts falls within the dishonouring of cheque and the creditor can file a case against him after sending the borrower the statutory notice in time.

Unless you can produce a relaible witness before whom the cheque was given it is sham cheque.

I think it does not cover 138 NI Act but may cover purely 420 IPC.

The provision of 138 NI act does not attract but you can file criminal complaint u/s 420,406 IPC.

If cheque was issued by the person from his account that has been dis honour by bank for payment the act is offensive and punishable under NI Act

It does not fall under NI Act. It is a clear case of cheating under Section 420 of IPC. File a police complaint against him.

You can file a case against the drawer of the cheque us 138 of NI ACT and even under IPC also. In case of Sec 138 the burden of proving that why the cheque has been issued in the on the drawer of the cheque in not on you. Let him come, contest and explain that if it is not signed by him then how it came in the custody of yours. And if you have obtained it s custody by wrong means why the drawer has taken any legal action before this.
