The advice of the police is accurate. You should fill the balance amount in the cheque and should get it deposited in your bank and then further follow action as per NI Act, if cheque get dishonored.

If the police is not entertaining a criminal complaint for the cheating activity, you may first get the cheque bounced and then file a cheque bounce case under section 1438 of negotiable instruments act for punitive action as well as for recovery.

Now you should issue the notice and should follow the process of 138 NI Act as already suggested to you. Engage a counsel for that purpose.
