You ought to have been cautious while issuing blank cheques. The only option left for you now is to issue stop payment order against these cheques and make written request (under registered post acknowledgement due) for return of cheques mentioning that they were issued for security purposes and that purposes are served. If cheques are not returned, immediately lodge a police complaint.

Hi Querist,
Normally if there is a delay in the payment penalty is charged, however she being a friend she can consider waiving it. However, u cannot ask as a demand, never delay any payments / instalments especially to Bank/ chit companies. Try to avoid a confrontation situation, if she files a cheque dishonour case u have the risk of going to courts every hearing.
