After that I don t appear in court till 2025. Now I want to disposed off the case but there is no summon received for cross examination . Now what to do my address also change and no information about the case and even date not know to me
First, we must ascertain the precise current status and next date of your case. Your non-appearance might have led to warrants or dismissal for non-prosecution. Once the status is clear, we can advise on formal withdrawal or proceeding with the cross-examination. It's crucial to address the court officially regarding your address change and your intent. Do not delay in seeking counsel to avoid adverse orders.
Your situation is extremely sensitive and risky, and you need to understand the gravity before taking any step.
You filed an FIR in 2018 under Sections 354, 354D, 504 IPC.
The case reached the stage of PW-1 cross-examination, which is a crucial stage in all sexual-offence matters.
Now you have been absent for years (2019–2025), your address has changed, and you have no idea of the next date.
Legally, this creates three dangerous possibilities:
The court may have already issued NBW (non-bailable warrant) against you for non-appearance.
The case may be ordered to proceed without your cooperation, which can seriously damage your position.
Your absence can be treated as hostile or non-supportive, which can affect your credibility and even your safety.
And if you make even a single wrong step now—
the entire case can collapse, and you can be held responsible for causing delay in a serious IPC-354 matter.
This is not something you can fix by casually going to court and asking for a date.
The proper and safe procedure now involves:
• Tracing the case file through court database + physical file verification
• Checking whether the court has issued NBW/BW or closed your evidence
• Filing the correct application to regularize your appearance and protect you from any coercive action
• Then taking the legal route to dispose of the case safely without harming you
This requires technical drafting and representation.
If you go alone or act without proper guidance, the court may take action or dismiss the case incorrectly.
I handle such pending criminal matters regularly—especially old 354 IPC cases where the complainant wants a safe and clean disposal.
Contact me directly. I will:
• Retrieve your case details
• Check your legal status
• Protect you from any warrant
• And create the correct legal exit so you do not face any consequence
This is a sensitive matter.
You need professional handling, not random advice.
