You may request the bank for 'stop payment'. The receipient may have to establish that you owed him/her the money represented in the check.

Arrange for stop payment and also lodge a complaint with the police.

The receiving party can initiate legal action only if they establish that the cheque was with the right person who is to receive money from them.

Report the matter to Police and the Bank.

Person using/depositing the cheque can initiate legal action against you. However, if he fails to prove existence of any legal debt or liability due from you to him, then you will be acquitted in case of criminal action and he will be non-suited in case of civil action.
