S.138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act deals with the issue of dishonored cheque. Second, summons is usually a procedure of court to secure the attendance of the parties involved in a case. As per the circumstances, you will need to hire professional help to present you in the court. Also consider filing a quash petition u/S 482 CrPC.

Summons is a call-up to the court to secure the attendance of the involved parties. You need to immediately hire a lawyer to draft your statement of facts and present it to the court. Cheque Bounce comes within S.138 of NI Act and you also have remedies available.

Secondly your father took the loan and he is no more. So, the loan liability ended with him.
Section 138 in The Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881
18 [ 138 Dishonour of cheque for insufficiency, etc., of funds in the account. —Where any cheque drawn by a person on an account maintained by him with a banker for payment of any amount of money to another person from out of that account for the discharge, in whole or in part, of any debt or other liability, is returned by the bank unpaid, either because of the amount of money standing to the credit of that account is insufficient to honour the cheque or that it exceeds the amount arranged to be paid from that account by an agreement made with that bank, such person shall be deemed to have committed an offence and shall, without prejudice to any other provisions of this Act, be punished with imprisonment for 19 [a term which may be extended to two years], or with fine which may extend to twice the amount of the cheque, or with both: Provided that nothing contained in this section shall apply unless—
