A.1. you cannot take the plea that your signed cheque was stolen,
2. a defence in such cases can be advised on the basis of the complaint,
3. share the copy of the legal notice/complaint to have a detailed revert,

A.It's likely but you should have given police complaint regards loss of the subject cheque. In any case plz inform your bank too. If case is filed contest it to the fullest through good Lawyer. Cheque bouncing is a criminal offence which may entail fine and/or imprisonment too.
