Such type of illegal demands are being very commonly made by Reliance company through their agents.

If you have details of payment made, then you may ignore this notice, let them initiate further action, and you received summons from court then you may defend your interests by producing the details available with you.

For the present you may ignore it and remain silent even to the subsequent phone calls.

you can remain present in lok adalat on date mentioned

2) take the stand that no settlement is possible as company has wrongly charged you although you had discontinued their services

3) rely upon correspondence exchanged by you with the company

Hello,

If you do not want to pay and you want to contest the case you will have to engage a lawyer to contest the case. If you do not put your appearance before the Lok Adalat then the case will be transferred to normal court and summon will be served upon you, after which you will have to mandatory put in your appearance.
