It is a petty offence, so you can appear through an advocate,or personally before the Court to remit the fine amount.
in case, if entrust the case to advocate,he will manage the case, but you have to pay his fees.

Engage a lawyer once you get the summons and appear before the court and concerned date and pay the fine and there your case will come to an end. Summons will have the date of appearance and court name also
