Q: Cheat tried to retrieve money for the cheques blocked

This case happened in 2004 whereby my brother who lives in USA ( and had an NRI bank account in India ) had sent some signed blank cheque's to my mother via courier. As the courier didn't reach so we got skeptical and approached our bank. We told the bank that anyone who tries to use the cheque's should not be allowed to retrieve any money. As the courier person approached the bank and tried to retrieve the money then he was apprehended by the bank officials and handed over to the police. We said we don't want to pursue any case since our money was safe. Now after so many years we have received summons to appear in court. Please advice me what should we do. Do we need to hire a lawyer or any do we simply go there and answer what is asked by the lawyer and judge?
