That in fact you did not have sufficient funds in your account to honour the cheques you had issued and to avoid the liability under section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881 as amended upto date, you got your account closed before my client could present the same for encashment.

10. That as the cheque is dishonoured for the reason of “insufficiency of funds”, which you deliberately tried to conceal or evade by getting your account closed, you may be held liable, civilly as well as criminally, particularly under section 420 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 as amended upto date and under Order XXXVII of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 and for this purpose this mandatory notice is served upon you.
