Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

I have a pending criminal case based of NI act. The check was issued in the company name to a person who offered to get funds to support a proposed power project. The company was actually supported by 4 directors from USA and 2 of their relatives in India and me from India. I was added to the company just for name sake by the USA promptors as they wanted 7 directors to form a the company. I had no clue of the transactions about the check issued by the company untill I got summons. This case is way back in 1997 and I attented the lower courts in Delhi till 2003. Now looks like the lower courts had sent many arrest warrants as I could not show up. I was only a name sake director and do not know anything about this

transaction behind this issued check . VERY IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE IS THAT IN THIS PROCESS

AFTER ALL THIS TRANSACTIONS HAPPENED, THE COMPLAINANT HIMSELF HAD SENT A FAX ADDRESSED TO ME INTRODUCING HIMSELF FIRST TIME BY THE TIME ALL THIS TRANSACTION OF ISSUAL OF CHECK HAPPENED. Is there a chance that I may be bailed off this case
