If the cheque has been given in the name of your partnership firm then yes you can be charged under section 138 of N.I.Act. If the said cheque has been given by your parnter in his personal capacity then you have nothing to do the said cheque.

Partner is an agent for other partners. Though your prt deed contents are to be considered [ if specific for cheque issues] read, in evidence, opp parry can charge you u/s 138 n.i. being liable as Partner.

When you say, "WE purchase" how you say that "im no way connected with the check"? In your query, you have also not mentioned whether the land was purchased for the firm and cheque was issued from firm's account or not.
