Hi Girish, you probably refer to Neighbor Solicitation message which is always using link locals as a source address. That would be possible. However pay attention to the following fact.
When you send a message using a link local address as a source address this message cannot pass a gateway. For that you will need a global unicast address.

Subject: Scope Issue
Hello,
For Neighbor Discovery messages, is it mandatory that the scope of the source and destination address should match?
If i have just a link-local unicast address on a node A connected to another node B which has global unicast addresses configured, can i form a ND message with source address as link-local unicast address and destination address as global unicast address when sending a ND packet from A to B.
