I lost my cheque book with signed cheques. I made stop payment of cheques in bank. I made a police complaint through registered post with acknowledgement card. I am worried if anyone misused it what will be the consequences. Whether stop payment and postal acknowledge card will be sufficient for my defence . Pls guide me

Since you have issued stop payment instructions, it is sufficent.

Yes, stop payment instructions and report to police are sufficient defence.

if anyone is able to misuse any of these chqeues then it is bank who is responsible.

However still someone may choose to file a case of cheating that after isue of the cheque to him you made stop payment directions to bank to avoid payment.
