yes, you may be filed a case under section 138 N.I.Act for the rest of payment and in this regard, several high courts and apex court have passed several judgments on this points.

Dear Mr. Aggarwal,
If the part payment has been received by the holder of cheque, still the criminal complaint could be filed against the drawer of the cheque; inasmuch as, the main base of the offence u/s 138 NI offences is about the dishonest intention of the drawer of the cheque of not paying the amount what he has promised for, in the cheque.
Once the dishonest intention is proved, by the dishonourment of cheque, the offence is completed.
