Sbi filed Negotiable instrument act 138
22-Oct-2026 (In Recovery Law)
I had a sbi card due to financial issues payment was late, I don't remember giving any cheque they filed case on 2017 feb we are not aware of it, still we have cleared the amount on sep 2017 in cibil also they reported post written off settlemed we have transaction details, one day in 2023 we got the summon from rohini delhi court about the case, then only we got to know about the case, it's in evening court , we mailed customer support asking if we have any pending amount , they replied no dues
Hello sir You should obtain the complete case file from Rohini Court and verify the case status and allegations. Preserve all payment records from September 2017 and SBI’s written no-dues confirmation as payment of dues does not automatically terminate pending criminal proceedings. Do not ignore court summons or hearing dates

If there are no pending dues then you can simply approach the court through your counsel and argue that all the pending amount has been paid and nothing is left. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

Legal Advice by Advocate Udit Garg
Based on the facts stated, you should immediately obtain the complete case file from the Rohini Court, including the complaint, summons, order sheets, and details of the alleged cheque or payment instrument. Since the case was reportedly filed in February 2017 and payment was made in September 2017, your bank statements, payment receipts, and SBI Card’s written “No Dues” confirmation will be crucial evidence.
First, verify whether the matter is a cheque dishonour complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, and determine its present procedural stage. If you never issued the alleged cheque, obtain the original cheque and relevant bank records to challenge its genuineness. If the dues were cleared, place proof of payment and the no-dues communication before the court through an appropriate application.
A written-off or settled status in a credit report does not automatically terminate criminal proceedings. Your advocate should examine whether the complaint can be challenged, compounded, or otherwise disposed of under applicable law. If an adverse order was passed without your knowledge, appropriate remedies may be available depending on the case record.
Do not ignore further court notice

Keep the September 2017 payment proof, SBI's email confirming no dues, the CIBIL report, and the 2023 summons ready. These documents may be important for assessing the case and the available legal remedies.

I understand your concern. Since you cleared the outstanding amount in September 2017, have transaction records, and subsequently received an email from SBI Card customer support confirming that no dues were pending, these documents may be important for your defence.
However, we would first need to examine the court case details, the nature of the complaint filed in February 2017, the summons received in 2023, and the payment records to determine the appropriate legal remedy. We would also need to verify the present status of the case and whether any order has been passed in your absence.
Please share the following documents, if available:
1. Copy of the summons and case number.
2. Payment transaction details from September 2017.
3. SBI Card's email confirming no outstanding dues.
4. Latest court order or case status.
After reviewing these documents, we can assess the available legal grounds and advise you on the appropriate next steps.
