Don’t appear in the court on 12th as you have applied for anticipatory bail so wait for the hearing and if it’ gets rejected then move to the High court against rejection and I believe that you will get favourable order

Well, your question is hotch-potch, but I have tried to understand. Actually a case u/s498 IPC is pending against you before District court & your Lawyer has filed Anticipatory Bail application before Hon'ble High Court ,on behalf of you ,& during hearing Court issued summon to appear before the Hon'ble High court on 12th June.
Most probably informant/Victim of this case will be also summoned to appear on said date before the said court.
Actually Hon'ble Court observe & analys various aspects such as Truth of Facts, gravity, way to short out the matter etc. So don't be fearful, on the same day if your Anti.Bail Application will be rejecte you will be not arrested in the court room. But before the court you should appear in pleasent, natural, disciplined way & mentally prepared to respond defend allegations against you, & for this your Lawyer of High Court will be the best friend.
Plz consult with him.
Thanks,

Since 498a is cognizable offence, you could be arrested,it is advisable that you should not appear without having interim protection.
If your anticipatory bail gets rejected then file the same before the higher/appellate court.

Dear Sir/Madam

It's the court of Judicial Magistrate takes cognizance of the offences and not the Hon'ble High Court. Offence under section 498A is non-bailable in nature and once you appear upon receiving the summons without obtaining anticipatory bail, the Court will send you to custody. First of all, you have to file application for anticipatory bail before th District Judge and if it gets rejected you can file anticipatory bail application before the Hon'ble High court challenging the rejection order and thereafter to the Hon'ble Supreme Court. If you appear upon rejection of ABP/ABA, you are to be sent to custody for obtaining regular bail.
