under section 138 NI Act the cheque bounce is a offence and the burden of proof is on the person whose cheque is bounced. You should reply to the notice in clear terms annexing the discharge of debt evidence. This should be followed while you submit your evidence. Ordinarily the court will discharge you if are able successfully demonstrate the settlement of debt

Since that person is having the instrument he can file the complaint under 138 NIA if bounced ,however you have to prove your innocense through evidance. You were suppoused to take back the cheque before making final payments.
