How do you stop a witness to leave the country in a criminal matter?


13-Jan-2023 (In Criminal Law)
How do you prevent a key witness to leave country in a case under section 304/304A IPC, where the charge framing is impending in court and the name of the witness in question is present in the charge sheet of Police? Given the slow course of legal proceedings, how do you as an accused person prevent the witness leaving country before deposition/witness where you or your counsel believes that cross examination of THIS VERY WITNESS is vital and can change the course of the case and vital for natural justice ?
