your query shows that you were aware that court proceedings are going on that is the very reason you checked the case status online. there is no excuse to say that you were totally unaware of the case. You need to appoint an advocate give all details and let the advocate do his/her work. it has to be done before the next date. There is no need to be scared of. Please take timely action and consult an advocate

This is my response to you: 1. If no summons was received by you then you have nothing to worry; 2. The court will ask you and you can make up another excuse, medical emergency etc.; 3. If you are ready to plead guilty and pay the fine then it will over in a jiffy.

In criminal matter bail granted to your husband by hon court that time you assure to court that you shall present before court on date of hearing your case therefore no question summons or call from hon court.you appear before court and proceed your matter day to day.

The court will respond if someone does not respond to the summons, also known as a legal notice. Or the court may initiate ex-parte proceedings in which the plaintiff would have to prove his claim by following the legal process and by providing evidence.
