cheque amount is 12 lakhs. I got legal notice and that case is going on as a separate case. now the complainant filed a separate case. I never went to his house. the date he mentioned that the offence occurred I was at my home. how to prove my innocence
1) you have to cross examine the complainant during trial to establish your innocence
2) in addition in your statement made before court deny that you visited complainant on date and time mentioned
3) burden of proof is upon complainant
Since the notice under 41 A has been received by you you should apply for anticipatory bail to preempt your arrest and detention. Once AB is obtained then you can contest the case on merits in the trial court or move the High Court for the quashing of FIR.
You first obtain anticipatory bail and then challenge his case.
If it was necessary to issue him a blank cheque then you can mention the same in the court the circumstances under which he cheque was issued and can very well mention that the cheque was not issued for any consideration that was passed earlier.

All these things are to be taken up during trial proceedings.
You wait and watch about the reasons he states that how you are indebted to him etc.
