A.Dear client,
After receiving a summons from court to appear as a witness and still, the witness fails to appear before the court then warrants with or without bail would be issued for arresting that person. This is applicable when the witness has failed to appear intentionally and does not have any lawful excuse for such absence or failure to appear in court. Along with this, the court can even attach the property of the person and also impose fine. On non-appearance of the witness, the case does not get dismissed; rather the Court issues a warrant to secure the attendance of the witness(es).
