if payment is stopped by drawer of a cheque which was issued against legally recoverable debt or liability then the person can certainly file an FIR for offense of cheating . But Better remedy will be to pursue the relief under NI Act and for that you have to send a legal notice withing 30 days from date of return memo so it will be better to contact a lawyer immidiately.

Yes you can but for raising an FIR there should be some cheating on the part of drawer of the cheque. It totally depends on the facts of the case. However, you should initiate a cheque bounce case any ways
