1. You need to be prepared for both the cases. In the matter of civil suit you can urge the civil court to stay the case u/s 138 N.I. Act.

If he has filed a civil suit additionally, you have to defend that too, follow it up with your advocate.

Section 138 proceedings are criminal proceedings in which u as accused may be convicted and punished with fine etc. these proceedings do not save limitation for recovery of the cheque amount by attaching ur properties or enforcing security if any given by u. Hence u will have to defend urself in both the courts. I do not think civil court can issue any stay order on the 138 proceedings.
