Do you want to check the user having account or not using the following command.
(you can use the /etc/passwd file or /etc/shadow file)

Code:
cat /etc/passwd | grep "^username"

Do you want to check the user is login or not using the following command.

Code:
who | grep '^username'

i am clear that if an account exist can search in etc/passwd
but what actually i mean is
for a user der are 2 states enable , disable .(disable is different from deleting an account ,we can enable a disabled acccount but cant enable a deleted account) .how to know whether the user is enabled are not.
