Yes. When you receive summons from a criminal court to give evidence, you being the informant and witness, need to appear on the date mentioned in the summons to adduce your evidence or else the court may issue a bailable warrant of arrest against you. If you still ignore the warrant, a non bailable warrant may be issued against you. Don't take criminal courts lightly :)

Complainant/informant needs to be present in the court only on the date of giving evidence and you need not need to spend a single penny for that. The court will send summon to witness to appear before the court and give evidence.
