Yes. Not only the official talk on subsequent dates but earlier stop payment and information in writing given to that company shall be beneficial for you in case further action is initiated. You should also reply to the notice so that it may be beneficial for you.

The proof is not sufficient with you.
Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 03 September 2016
By issuing blank cheque you have authorized the holder in due course to fill the cheque particulars, till you are able to prove otherwise.

The have filled date prior to your official talks / notice. Your defense has less merits.

Engage some good layer and defend your side.

You have raised similar query some 3-4 years back at:

http://www.lawyersclubindia.com/experts/138-of-ni-act-404741.as

Whether it is same case or different as dates are changed.

If not, when you had faced problem in issuing blank cheques, why have you issued again.
