In criminal complaint of sexual assault summons to witnesses were served but they being highly profile did not appeared and deputed advocate who produced documents and court accepted the same. My query is that much was to be extracted from them for which their appearance was required. Any remedy or citation can be referred

In the criminal complaint an advocate has already appeared before court on behalf of the accused by filing vakalatnama.
Now it is for the court to instruct the appearance of the accused on the next date of hearing.
Being a defacto complainant you cannot insist the court on this because it is state prosecuted case.
