It seems that your friend has misused the cheque given by you by presenting it after filling up the same for a sum of Rs.50000/-. However, in case your friend institutes any complaint for the offence under section 138 of NI Act, you need to exonerate yourself by proving that the cheque is not supported by any valuable consideration. This can be done only at the stage of trial .

Dear Prakashji
Your opinion is correct!
Once the Case u/s 138 NI Act is filed
the matter is to be decided by the Court- at the stage of Trial .

The legal notice that received by you is not from court but from your friend. With the help of a lawyer give reply to the notice.
