A.Hi,
If that specific accused was also involved and caused injury to you, then he must be punished. But, if you want his name to be dropped, refuse to identify him at the evidence stage (only if you have not got a chance to identify the accused at a previous stage).

A.Hi,
Even if he did not physically participate in the attack, he can be punished for sharing a common intention with the other attackers. If he was falsely identified as the accused, but is actually innocent, then you can request that he be removed as a party to the suit. Lying in Court amounts to perjury and is punishable under law, this can adversely affect your case and might even get the accused acquitted.

A.Hi,
If he was one of the people who attacked you, then he must be punished under law.
The magistrate might question your motives for wanting to remove his name from the case. Lying to the magistrate amounts to perjury and you will be punished if the truth is uncovered. As such, there is a chance it will adversely affect your case.
