You were informed that they have filed a writ against you seeking protection from you whereas you have not received any notice so far.

If you have not received any notice so far it clearly indicates that there is no case against you till the time you receive a notice from high court.

Upon receipt of a notice from high court, you engage the services of an advocate and plead innocence by filing your counter to it.

Police cannot make any arrest until there is a specific order by high court in this regard, which shall be made only if there is a serious charges pending agaisnt you in the police station and you are absconding.

Be in touch with a local lawyer on all such developments.

My concerns are

1 can police arrest me

The criminal misc. application filed is for seeking relief thereon and not for arresting you, hence dont be worried about it, the police cannot arrest you without any direction by court.

2. As I have done nothing then also court will summon me.

The court will summon you by sending a notice, you can plead before court that you are innocent.

3 exactly what court will do in such complaints

Exactly the court will summon you and hear your side arguments in the matter filed against you.

4. What kind of action taken in notice of motion

You have to appear and express your objection to the charges alleged agaisnt you.
