criminal revision petition against issue process

Hii

in a matter of 138, the complainant has made me a party bcoz I'm involved in partnership, and the cheque of the partnership firm given by another partner was dishonour. i was not aware of the transaction further there is no averment in complaint which can denote my legal liability against the transaction.
the trail court ordered the issue process and I'm challenging the issue process order.

I've 2 questions

1) which grounds should I plead in such a case

2) whether the state has to make respondents as we are challenging the courts order?

thankyou in advance


Quick Summary
This discussion explores challenging a court order to issue process in a cheque dishonour case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The user was made a party to a complaint due to their partnership involvement, despite not being aware of the specific transaction or having their personal liability averred in the complaint. The cheque was issued for a partnership liability, but not a specific partner's personal debt. The user seeks advice on grounds for their revision petition and whether the state needs to be made a respondent.

Why the cheque was issued? Is it because of the debt or liability of the firm or that of the particular partner in his personal capacity? What are the allegations in the complaint as well the mandatory Notice?
