First, it has to be checked if limitation is available to sue your mother. Even assuming your father signed any acknowledgment of debt in 2011, it revived the debt only up to 2014. The legal action seems to be time barred. A suitable replyl has to be sent to the legal notice.

As long as your mother is not a guarantor in the personal loan issued by Shriram chit fund to your father. the legal department of Shriram chit fund can't claim the amount from your mother. is there any legal notice issued against your mother.
