Summons to attend as witness

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 26 October 2017 This query is : Resolved
Hello,

I am a resident of Mumbai and received a summons from court in Nashik, to attend as a witness in a criminal case.
I am pregnant and due to some complications, my doctor has advised me to take complete bed rest and avoid any kind travelling.

On the previous date, I submitted doctors certificate stating I have to be on bed rest and avoid any travelling. Along with this I submitted an application asking public prosecutor to drop my name from the witness list. However, public prosecutor refused to do so and next hearing of the case is in another 20 days.

I am based in Mumbai and cannot travel to Nashik on the given date.

Please let me know if there are any other available options.
Regards

You can send your lawyer to the court seeking Appointment of a commissioner to examine you as a witness at your home or let the court examine you through Video conference if your testimony is crucial.in the criminal case.
