Since you have already given your PW1 statement, the court is now waiting for your presence for cross examination. If you have changed your address, the summons may not have reached you, which is why you have not received any further information. You should visit the court where the case is pending and check the current status and next date from the court record room or from the concerned court staff. If you want to close or withdraw the case, you can file an application before the court expressing your intention not to continue the proceedings. The court will consider your statement and decide the future of the case. It is important that you appear before the court and update your correct address so that you can receive future notices without difficulty.

Based on the facts stated by you, the case appears to be still pending before the concerned Magistrate Court, and since you have not appeared for several years and your address has changed, the court summons may not have reached you. The first step is to obtain a certified copy of the FIR and the latest case status. You can get the FIR copy from the police station where the FIR was lodged or through the district court’s copy department by giving the FIR number, year, and police station name. You can also check the online case status on the district court website using your name or the accused person’s name. Once you obtain the case details, you may file an application before the court for restoration of communication, updating your correct address, and requesting the next date of hearing. If you wish to dispose of the case, you can also file an application expressing your inability to pursue the matter further and seek appropriate orders from the court. The court will guide you depending on the stage of the case. It is advisable to engage a local lawyer to obtain the documents and take necessary steps.

Since you are the complainant and PW-1 in a case under Sections 354, 354-D and 504 IPC, and your cross-examination is still pending, the case cannot be disposed of without your evidence being completed. As you did not appear after 2019 and your address has changed, the court may have issued summons at your old address, which you did not receive. You should immediately approach the concerned trial court through a local advocate, inspect the case file, and take the next date of hearing Thereafter, you must file an application for updating your present address on record and another application for recalling yourself for cross-examination under Section 311 CrPC. If you no longer wish to prosecute the case, you may also explore compounding (if legally permissible) or state before the court that you do not wish to support the prosecution, after taking proper legal advice. Until you appear before the court, the case will not get concluded properly.
