First of all you were the partner in the company so when you were exiting the company you need your share so if you withdraw the amount from the account of which you were the legal operator you did no crime prima facie as a partner can withdraw money from company current account as you were the joint owner moreover since once he did the agreement among 5-6 people he can't deny it and if his previous complaint proves his malicious intent so you can pray to the court to take action against him , above all if the case anyhow moves further those 5 people who did the agreement can be the witness, in case they go against you they will be cross examined by your lawyer after which they will get exposed

You have documentary evidence to prove that the partner had given a false complaint and that now since the matter has been settled, he withdrew the complaint.

If the subsequent complaint had been entertained by court, then you wait for the summons to be served after which you can approach high court with a petition to quash the FIR for the said reasons stating that it is a false complaint and motive is vindictive. 

The evidence in your possession would fetch you a fruitful result

What happened to the earlier complaint with the police authorities? Was an FIR registered?

How you are in the know of the complaint has been filed? Even if filed, it cannot be under (Section) 156(3) (CRPC)

If you were given a cheque for Rs.23 lakhs and you withdrew the amount there cannot be any criminal complaint. There can be a criminal complaint only if the complainant can prove that you obtained the cheque through some false representation. Otherwise there can be a dispute not a criminal complaint.
