Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in India

I borrowed one lac from a person and later issued a blank cheque to him. I have received notice under section 138 of negotiable instrument act where the person has filled 8 L Rs. and got the cheque bounced.

How to handle this situation? Can I fight on the basis that the cheque was given only for security purpose.
