write to him immediately by registered post about not depositing the cheque with his banker as you have paid all the dues to him. further, ask him to return the cheque to you alongwith the blank stamp paper. also make him aware that the said bank account from which the cheque was issued is closed. This way you would be able to avoid criminal case u/sec. 138 of N.I.Act. keep a copy of the siad letter for your reference. Regards, Advocate Rohit Dalmia 9324538481 Mumbai
