Dear Sir,
You have two possible problems straight away:
a. Since you have stopped payment of cheques, the other party may resort to S. 138 proceedigns under NI Act;
b.How do you settle your accounts.
the possible solution is that,
A. Send the other party a legal notice detailnig all correct facts asking them to deliver the goods at the earliest on the agreed payment;
B. If the other party is not agreeable, file a civil suit to this effect;
Please contact a local lawyer for detailed and clear advise after having gone through your documents and understanding your case.

you can file a suit in civil court
Re: About Stop Payment against billing error
Since you had already given cheques against the bill, you may not be able to challenge correctness of the bill amount at this stage.
You should make payment of cheque amounts to avoid criminal prosecution under N.I. Act and suit for recovery.
The variation in quotation and bill may not be a valid defence.

Its difficult to understand why the cheques were given. I believe you should consult a local lawyer.
Re: About Stop Payment against billing error
consult a local lawyer with all documents. send legal notice that the amount claimed by the client is not due to him. You must contend that the cheques were not given in discharge of any legal liability and only under threat. Go according to the local lawyer's guidance. No use in seeking solution in this forum.
