If complainant do not continuously disobey the direction of court to produce his evidence, his opportunity shall be closed and matter shall be fixed for further proceeding and its entire benefit shall go in favour of accused.

Allowing time in a criminal case depends upon the discretion of the court.In a criminal case if the complainant fails to produce witnesses reasonable opportunity to be given to the complainant for the same. The remedy lies in the state High Court.

There is no limit of dates. It depends upon how long the court allows the time.
The complaint can not be dismissed if the delay is long and willful but definitely the court can close the evidence .

So press for closure of evidence of the complainant.

i agree it is at the discretion of the court . if witness remains absent for number of dates the court may direct closure of evidence
