No. The said person can file a complaint under section 138 N.I. Act against you and in that eventuality, you have to face proceedings of the same. Have you got register any DDR or FIR for lost of cheque. If not you can still file a complaint against said person to police for blackmailing.

first thing first you had to file a complaint in police station of lost cheque and when you stopped the cheque that would also matter now you are in a criminal case and depending upon the court you can be prosecuted as a criminal and the same would mean you may have to get bail and fight the case or else he can sue you further
