Sir,
I was given a cheque to some one person for Rs.1Lac as security 2 year back out of my saving account. Now the same account has been closed. Due to out of touch, i could not pass the information to same person. He presented the same cheque into bank and bank had returned the cheque with remark account closed. Now, he has suited upon me u/s 138. Please guide me.

as per sec-138,it is essential that the cheque should be issued on an account maintained by him means a live account.if a chque is on a dead account then it does not make any responsibility.but in your case it was a live account so you are responsible to pay the amount.
