As you are saying that the court has summoned you as a witness, in such case there shouldn't be any action being taken against you. You should appear in the court and tell the true incident as it too place. Moreover there is contributory negligence on your part by driving the 2 Wheeler with 3 passengers which is not allowed and thus the court may also take action against you. More details will be required for a detailed legal suggestion.
