Hello,
If you have received the summons from the Court you immediately have to take a bail from the Court and fulfill the bail conditions. Then you can prove your case before the Learned Court. I hope this helps.

Regards

You have to find a suit for a declaration that you are not liable as a director in the company and that you have been defrauded by the original owner in on the pretext of registering the company. You may also file a criminal complaint against the original owner for defrauding you. In this way you can avoid your liability
