You can easily close the case by submitting your version in writing to the concerned court and if it is in anyway related to your lost mobile then also you can submit all relevant details and documents to show that you lost your mobile phone and had lodged complaint in this to the nearest police station in due time

Summons are being issued for recording your evidence into the matter. Would advise you to immediately consult a lawyer having experience in criminal law. Engage a lawyer in Delhi and file an appropriate exemption application seeking time from the court to appear. No your friend cannot appear on your behalf. You may contact
