Legal Question in Employment Law in India

I had joined a company in Feb 1st 2011, they made me sign a bond for 2.5 years where 75000rs was the money they wanted incase I broke the bond, they also took two of my original certificates for safety period of 2.5 years. I left the company after 4-5 months and cited personal reasons, I never went back to collect certificates. Today after 2.3 years they sent me a court order where they want to file a case against me. Can you help what can be the probable steps I could take against them?

Regards,
