Validity of cheque

Appear on that date fixed for and file a written objection,the case may be rejected by the Court.

Have you got  any documents to; show that goods were retruned  to the supplier?

If cheque bears year as 2005 then it is time barred cheque.

you cannot avoid court summons. Appear in the court get the copy of the complaint contact an advocate to prosecute the case. However,  Mr. Rajeev has said rightly, if the cheque is time barred you need not worry, the is valid only for six months from the date mentioned. As I understand, may be the transaction was in the year 2005, but cheque issued by your father is a blank cheque without date and amount being mentioned. So they have made use of the cheque now. If you have bank details pertaining to the year 2005, and the cheque No. if tallies, then you can fight the case in that spirit. Go to the concerned  court ask your advocate to look into the file see whether the hand writing is that of your father's. Gather information first. Hope you understand the concept.
