If you have been summoned as a witness in a criminal case, it is mandatory to comply with the court’s order. However, if you genuinely do not possess relevant information, you can appear before the court and provide a truthful statement under oath. The court may discharge you if it determines that your testimony is not necessary. To completely be relieved 1. File an application under Section 311 of CrPC (if applicable) through an advocate, requesting the court to dispense with your witness attendance, citing lack of knowledge and relevance. 2. Clearly state in your statement that you do not have any information to contribute. 3. If harassment or undue pressure persists, inform the judge about your circumstances.
