Make written representation with the bank and clear all the facts therein praying therein to close the chapter failing which serve a legal notice which is more than sufficient for ICICI bank.

A Bank can not cancel your client's account. Suggest your client to become operative his current account deposit some amount. If the Manager doesn't accept his request ask him to give in written. With that written statement ask your client made complaint with banking Ombudsman.

 As your client has not signed an upgradation form to up grade account as per rules of ICICI, irrespective of account operative or not, they can not charge him.

mere not using the account for so many years has not absolved your client from  any liability  from the same specially when the ICCI after merger informed your clien about imposition of  penalty. You better negotiate with the Bank and ask for waiver on promise of making the account operative.
