Mere raising dispute would not help. You have to apply for testing its veracity by appointing an expert.
Do the needful for that.

The receipt has not been issued by you and let the complainant prove it. The receipt is fake one prepared for the filing of the complaint. A criminal case can also be got lodged by the company against such person including the proceeding under section 340 of criminal procedure code.
