A.Dear Client,
If you have received a cheque from someone, and it is drawn on a bank account that has been closed for three years, you may face challenges in initiating legal proceedings under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Section 138 specifically deals with dishonor of a cheque due to insufficient funds or if it exceeds the amount arranged to be paid by the drawer's account. However, the closure of the bank account poses a unique situation.

In such cases, it is advisable to consult with a legal professional who can assess the specific details of your situation and guide you on the appropriate course of action. Depending on the circumstances, alternative legal remedies may need to be explored, and a lawyer can help you navigate the complexities of the case. Keep in mind that legal advice tailored to your specific situation is essential for making informed decisions regarding any potential legal action.
Thankyou
