Dear Querist

the hand writing on the cheque is your's or not it is matter of trial.

if you send a reply of the notice received by you before filing the complaint then based on this reply if this cheque is not issued by you then the burden of proof upon you.

you may file a complaint against him before court for forgery u/s 464 of IPC.

fight the cases on merit.
