Your lawyer must now keep a track of the case and inform you when a summons is issued. On the next date of appearance, your lawyer has to appear before the court and explain the state of affairs as described by you including presenting any relevant legal arguments such as whether the said director had the authority to issue the cheque.

It goes without saying, that you must now appoint a lawyer. I might be able to help you in this regard, should you so require.
