One can actually be summoned to court with whistle and a nod, if that person were willing to show up. Typically, however, the court will issue a subpoena (or, a summons) upon the request of a party to the litigation. Without the subpoena, the opposing party will have no recourse if you don't show up. The subpoena must be properly served for the summons to have any legal weight in the case one does not appear. But even an order made in open court, in the presence of the person being ordered, is sufficient.

If a witness cannot be found, then the trial simply relies on other sources of information. There are various other possibilities depending upon the reason why this hypothetical person was summoned.
My REALISTIC suggestion would be that you respond to court in response to the summons. When you appear, it should be fairly self-evident that you are not the person they really wanted to attend. Better to do this than run afoul of a lot of misunderstandings and have the Sheriff come to your lhome or place of business and haul you off to court.
