Hi,

You are suggested to comply the court notice and go to court on date of hearing. Do appear as witness and ask for TA, diet money etc. It will be paid to you.

Dear sir,

A summons is a court order. If you fail to appear, the court has numerous remedies. If you were subpoenaed and you were an obviously reluctant witness, the attorney who subpoenaed you could just seek that you be forcibly brought into court. Or the attorney could ask the court to gently remind the witness of their obligation.

Either way, if you have a summons, you need to appear. If you have some reason why you believe you should not appear, you should talk to a lawyer and see if you can get the summons quashed (and there is no ‘s’ in front of quashed). If you were a fact witness, you likely cannot get the summons quashed. If it is merely inconvenient, you likely cannot get the summons quashed. If you have some legal reason, such as a legal privilege, your attorney can tell the court why you should not be a witness and raise the privilege for you. The court can then determine if the privilege is sufficient to relieve you of the order to appear.

Without some sort of privilege, though, if you are summonsed to be a witness, you need to obey the summons.

You'll be paid diet money, which has been pre decided by the court. If you do not appear, warrants would be issued in your name. I would advise you to go and get your statements recorded.

You are defenitely under legal obligation to appear before the court. Court may issue arrest warrent if you fail to appear without some valid reason.

All expenditure in connection with your appearence shall be borne by the party who applied to court for your witness. These expenditure are reimbursed as per prescribed rules in this regard.

This is my response to you:

1. Yes you must go as a witness and record your statement;

2. There will be witness protection by the CBI court;

3. Maybe if you are being called for taking your chief and the same can go to cross-examination;

4. If you are worried, then you can engage services of a lawyer to protect your rights;

5. Consult a local lawyer and take steps.

You must have given your statement to investigation agency while investigation in corruption compliant, Now you have been summoned for cross examination. No expenditure on first hearing, if case adjourned on the request of defendant than only expanses will order by court that also on your request.

Nominal expanses. 

You must appear as witness on date mentioned 

2) if you don’t appear bailable warrant would be issued against you 

3) you would be entitled to train fare 

You would not be entitled to air fare 

you would be entitled to iii rd AC fare 

See you have to go  if you fail court will issue warrent against.you.

You will.get.expeses as witness as per court schedule.

That is different in state to state and you will get the amount as per courts direction.

It will be lumpsum amount. It's generally 2-3k. You would not be reimbursed foe your expenses.

yes if you have called as witness then definitely court will pay you the aforesaid expenses. The amount will be decided by court

Since you are summoned witness you have to appear before court till you are discharged. In case you don't appear on the date fixed in spite of service of the summon, court may issue warrants against you.  Diet money for appearance in the Court shall be fixed by the concerned court..

Dear Sir,

Hello,

If your witness is important the court will in default issue bailable warrant of arrest to produce you before the court .

No there is no so such options where you could avail such services from government exchequer.

Dear

If you have got the summons as witness then you have to travel to Dhanbad for giving your evidence.

If you don't go for giving evidence then court can issue Non bailable warrant against you. 

If you are eligible for expenses then the amount must be mentioned on your summon.
