In Your case you closed your account prior to cheque get return with remark "Account Closed", hence Section 138 of N I Act doesn't commence, but your friend has doors open for Summary Suit in Civil Court by which he can recover either 5 lakhs or double to it, if he could prove the same in an evidence.
Contact me I will guide you for safe doors.
