The complainer is not responding to high court notice. Neither coming to court. To quash the case which was already resolved in mediation. What should we do. Can’t the case be closed? Why we do suffer if he is not coming.

A.Dear client,
Is yours a criminal or a civil case? In a criminal case, if the complainant does not appear even after several adjournments, the accused or his/her lawyer may apply to the Court to either dismiss the case or acquit the accused. The Court will then decide on the matter, taking into consideration the reasons for the complainant's non-appearance.
