Dear Kesava Panda,
If you terminate the employees and if the terminated employees file suit against your company then your company will be respondent. Though the summons will be issued to the company, the company has to be represented by somebody. Since Managing Director (MD) is the owner of the company (in most of the cases), who should represent the company is a call that your MD will take.
Are you queasy about personal appearance in the court? If you are from HR then your company may make you a witness. Under such circumstances, your personal appearance is inevitable. Nothing wrong to stand in witness box. It is an experience in itself.
Thanks,
Dinesh Divekar
