Before filing NI Act case, it is necessary to issue notice to you.  If she issued notice then reply her in detail

EVEN BEFORE THE DRAWEE SERVE ON YOU THE SATUTORY NOTICE, BETTER YOU ASK THROUGH LEGAL NOTICE TO RETURN THE P.D CHQ UNCONDITONALLY .

no need to worry, as per the facts of your case it does not attract section 138 of The N.I. Act.

To file a case u/sec.138 N.I.Act, it is mandatory to issue a legal notice,let then to issue a notice.otherwise you should try to divorce on mutual consent and pay by bank draft only.

Never make the mistake of replying any NI 138 notice which means you admit cheque. Instead sent prior notice before presentation of cheque as suggested above.

in your case you have done a right thing by giving application of stop payment you are on the top case u/s 138 NI Act does not stands against you

NI 138, on stop payment on non fulfillment of condition

 

The correct process had been to give them a notice and then simultenously go for stop payment.

 

The alibi can be they were informed in the presence of two witness, as you are not so well versed with law.

 

Don't ya worry.
