Well you must reply to the legal notice sent by him to you.
You are safe because you have already filed a report before the police and also stopped the payment.
Dont worry , even if he files a case under Section 138 NI Act read with 420, the same is liable to be dismissed.
Consult a lawyer and start the action
your story does not hold water. how can your signed cheque be stolen that also by a person known to you. think of some better defence or compromise the matter.
