Since cheque is bounced offence is committed, Now since the evidence of the complainant is completed and since he admitted of receiving the amount of Rs.15000/- you need to prove thorugh your evidence how the amount was given and the same was in lieu of the bounced cheque. There are fair chances of your acquital. Now from your query can be presumed that the matter is now for your evidence, elaborate yourself in your evidence the whole episode and your bonafidesness. Moreover since notice was not is can be preliminary ground for dismissal of case.

1) unfortunately you dont have any letter from complainant that he shall with draw the case on receipt of rs 15,000

2) luckily for you the complainant has issued receipt of rs 15,000

3) the offence is committed when no payment is made within 15 days of receipt of notice .

4) in your statement that is recorded by court mention that payment of rs 15,000 was in lieu of bounced cheque . the receipt issued by complainant must be containing particulrs regarding purpose for which payment is amde .

5)you have good case on merits

Dear,

if you have receipt against the bounce cheque, then you have sufficient case.  Even you can file the case for mental harassment agains the complainant after receving the full and final amount against the cq., but did not withdraw the complaint case.

regards
