Law for blocked cheque blouced blocked four month back

Dear sir

back, I lost my bag carrying few of my cheques duly signed by me without mentioned dates for more than 2 lakhs amount and i intimated for the lost cheques to the near Police station and taken receiving too. Now today I came to know that those cheques are with one of my known guy and he is forcing us to  pay that amount. Now if he submits these cheques, ofcourse these cheques  will get bouced as I have already blocked  four month back when I lost them. I want to know whether on boucing these cheques, can a case be registered against me for frauding and all and if yes then how can I get rid of this problem. What is the law for such cases. And that guy who has my cheques dont know that I have already blocked cheques four month back and he still didnt submitted cheques in bank.

Please guide

We submitted application for informing of missing cheques to the police station four months back and in return we got receiving from the police station of the above mentioned application.

The cheques details are as follows :  

One cheque worth one lakh without mentioned name and date.

Two Cheques worth 25000 and 40000 self addressed.

One cheques was dated 13th Sept 2009,  and one cheque worth 25000 without  date and name and this cheque is of my father’s account but signed by me by mistake

We havent appointed any local lawyer as cheques still not submitted in bank but the guy is forcing us to pay him the money unless he will place cheques in bank and drag us under criminal offence.

 Yes a case u/s 138 can be filed against you because if you have not read the law, just as I have not, the cliche is "holder of the cheque in due course" and beyond this it is your baby to rebut and all that. You may get relief when you produce f.i.r. and police/bank receipt etc. but by that time you would have gained few years and your purse would have been lighter by considerable amount in running to the court and paying lawyer's fees. 

If you know in whose possession the cheque is why don't you name him in the f.i.r. and let the police do its job. Return all of the remaining cheques, if any, to the bank and obtain acknowledgement.

I want to know if a cheque was dated six month back date and submitted after six month to the bank then ofcourse the cheque will be returned as bank do not entertain six month old cheque. Can the cas can be filed against for this six month old cheque too.

 

Also if  the cheques are self  addressed then still the other guy can file a case against me.

 

what case he can file against me, and on what grounds, if nothing in on writing??

 Please dont get your facts all mixed up. Basic and simple: A cheque presented to the bank after six months of the date written on it loses its entity, validity and is just a scrap of paper.

What do you mean by self-addressed? No case can be filed when there is no valid cheque. Please get your facts together and explain with dates what is the problem.
