Can daughters be the respondents in 138 case if father died

My father had given a cheque of RS 5 lacs to a private financer, it was dishonoured in 2011, after that the financer filed a 138 case against my father. In the meantime in 2013 the financer filed a civil suit against my father, knowing that my father was hospitalised, then my father expired on 2013, the financer has made me n my sister legal respondents in the civil case, is it possible in Indian law to make us legal respondents in the case, whereas the 138 case was undecided at the time of my father's death and was closed permanently because of it.
