If the summons have been sent to the individual in the capacity of Branch Manager, then it becomes the case against the bank, The panel advocates of the bank will be requisitioned to give a reply notice stating the facts and may be asked to accompany the official to the police station to clear the issue n behalf of the bank and the police may be asked to deal with the issue legally through court If the case is against the individual about his involvement using his official position then, i becomes his duty to visit the police station and give an explanation in writing about what has happened and what were the circumstances prevailing then etc. In any case it would be better to obtain anticipatory bail before the charge sheet is filed to safe guard the interest.

As on date the account is closed,but what was the status of loan at the time of filing the complaint in the year 2012?Is the guarantee mortgaged his property to the bank in that loan ? Whether the mortgage property is released or not after the closing of loan and the documents are released ?

You have a correct and truthful answer,then there is no hope of fear.

The police officer questioned you regarding the loan transactions and mortgage deals as per the complaint.If you feel fear an anticipatory bail may taken soon .
