First of all I did not understand how the certificate reached your without clearance of the FD amount.After reading your query I have a doubt regarding the Company's authencity. You have done the right thing by stopping the payment of the cheque amount.i have a reasonable doubt whether they will file a cheque bouch case or not.If they file then you have enough prove to show the Learned Court that you cancelled the application.
Thanks.

Dear client,
As per the details given by you I would like to say , the section 138 attracts if you fail to make the payments by way of cheques in liue to discharge of your any liabilities but in your case you gave cheques to purchase something which later on you changed your mind and thus you stopped the payment , so according to me its nothing to worry , at best if you can give a written letter to them stating all the facts.
