There are a few complications in the matter as you just said here. Do you mean to say that you enetered into an agreement to purchase a property and you paid the token amount and now you are not in possession of the agreement. if its the case , there is some problem, because you dont have a proof of the payments you made already and further the cheque you issued to them. However, you did the right thing when you issued legal notice to them and made them alert to not to present cheque for encashment. I shall advise you to file a civil suit stopping them to present the cheque and also directing them to hand it over to you and some other relevant reliefs in the suit. you are not liable to pay the amount of cheque to them, the deal of purchase has not taken place as yet and you dont have any liabilty to pay any money .

To check your liability in CD cases the person to whom u have issued cheque should be able to show that cheque was repayment of a debt owned by to the payee of cheque case. Otherwise the court should not take cognizance. In notice sent you ahve specified fact no debt is due as it is business transaction.
