Hi, Either you appear before the Court from where Summons received and convey your version in the Court OR approach the High Court for Quashing the case registered against you U/s 420.In both cases , it is better to engage a Lawyer in either situation. If you need to clarify doubts any more, please feel free to contact me for further guidance and advise. Regards, RAJESH NEDUMPROM,Adv

you already received a summons from the court of law.There for you appear before the court with two solvent surety and apply for bail. Your another remedy is to approach the high court with a prayer to quash the complaint.

Since u have received a summons u have to appear the court through a lawyer and obtain the copy of the charge sheet first and try for a discharge in the case after perusing the case details.First u have to ascertain the allegations of the other party.
