A firm mistakenly used our blank security cheque to deposit a large sum, which we promptly stopped. We filed a police complaint, and the company admitted their error. However, they appealed to the High Court to halt any legal action against them.

In India, filing a police complaint for a bounced cheque is usually not the appropriate legal recourse. Since the company admitted the mistake and the cheque was stopped, you can consider filing a civil suit for recovery of the amount. The High Court appeal likely focuses on stopping any criminal proceedings based on the bounced cheque.
