You have to engage a lawyer like me who will give a representation on your behalf . For that you have to take a quick decision . Otherwise warrant will be issued against you . On that day your lawyer has to file a petition under section 317 Cr.p.c. . By that time he will need some documents like the copy of the complaint, copy of your summon and a Vakalatnama signed by you.

Dear client,
As per the details given by you, I would suggest that as a case has been filed against you then you have to be present before the court at least for once and place your pleadings before the court because the court is not aware of the present scenario your case and neither the complainant has made it aware to the court , so you have to state the fact before the Court after appearing before it.
And as the complainant has filed the instant case you can file a defamation suit and also can claim damages from the complainant.

As a criminal case has been registered against you, if you or your appointed advocate does not appear then a warrant is likely to be issued against you. Appear in court and submit the proof of payment

I understand your case .The reason might be you had paid the amount after the institution of the case by the company. Once a case has been instituted u/s 138 N I act, any amount paid will not put an end to the case unless the company filing the prosecution withdraws the same. The same situation has been happened with several of my clients. One of such case was from C M M court, Calcutta. The reason might be lack of communication between the lawyer who has been conducting the case on behalf of company and the official of company. It this case the option before you that the company to withdraw the case, but , you shall appear before the court as you have received the summon.
