Hi... Mam no need to worry if you dont want to stand as a witness same thing you can depose before the Court and court will consider your request and you also get witness travelling expenses from the court.
Thank you.

In your case,as a law abiding citizen of this country,you are bounded by the law and it is your kind of obligation also imposed by the law,my kind suggestion to you appear before that authority by your lawyer,as u mentioned about your age,it may not be taken seriously unless you are unable to travel or any other medical reason.
