Dear sir,
Payment stopped/Account closed. Dishonouring cheque on ground that account was closed is consequence of act of drawer bringing his account to ‘Nil amount’ – such dishonour of cheque would attract Sec. 138 – Sec. 138 would become dead letter if instruction issued to bank to stop payment immediately after issuing cheque against debt or liability. 1999 (2) CTC 347 SC.

A/c closed is an offence, but it is necessary to see the circumstances to close the account

Reddy sir , if the account is closed after the valididy of cheque is expired, no offense.
The complainant has to first establish legal liability on the date of cheque from that person.
