100Cr, Ahmedabad and Axis bank goes a long way. If I remember correctly CBI also once charged Axis bank official in Ahmedabad with 100Cr amount during demonetisation.

So these could be Axis bank official too which would be more befitting... No offense to Axis folks in general...

What is cheating in this case?
As per the news article it seems they only used the technical error of card. How are they responsible for banks fault?? Can anyone explain?
Those minuscule font size agreement we sign while getting products from banks help the bank in such cases sometimes.

However, its still unclear what are they charged with, how it became a criminal case and whether Axis is involved in the filing. There seems to be more with the case than Axis as only credit card fraud can not have triggered this especially when two people have 36 sim cards.

Bank could have initiated a reversal and made them defaulter and involve the legal team earlier with recovery but that would be a civil case i guess?

How are they responsible for banks fault??
Another example: If bank mistakenly deposit a large amount in someone's account and the person spent it, legal action can be taken against the person failing to refund it.

As per newspaper I read, axis didn't filed a case, they didn't revealed name at that time but mentioned that e commerce has filed a case because they had to pay 1 cr + as processing charges (may be MDR)

You are right. The case was filed by Jiomart not Axis bank. If you read the Divya bhaskar newspaper clipping, there is a name mentioned, who filed the complaint. He is the assistant general manager at reliance retail. Here's the linkedin profile link https://www.linkedin.com/in/saikiran-thandra-993a3162?trk=recent-searches
