Yes, this case is very much maintainable. Further it is matter of trail whether you issued cheque in question in personal capacity or in prop. Of the firm,. In both the situation you are liable to pay. However not mentioned other thing, which are technical and further whether is cheque in legal debt or not

Proceedings pertaining to the cheque bounce are quasi criminal in nature and the liability is strict in nature, that means it never shifts. The person who had issued the cheque which has been bounced is the one who becomes liable under section 142 of Negotiable Instruments Act.
Generally the summons issued with incorrect particulars are not deemed to be served properly. But, if only the name is wrong and other particulars such as parentage and address are correct you must appear before the court and should contest the case on merits as the plea pertaining to the issuance of summons in wrong name will not be sufficient to dismiss the case of the complaint as "not maintainable".
So, as per the information provided by you, i would advise you to appear before the Court and contest the case on merits with the aid of a good lawyer.
