Respected Sirs
1) In 2014 April few fellows demolished the site metal rope fencing and supporting stones. The cost of entire fencing around the site is hardly Rs 5000/-
2) The approximate time of demolishing being 3PM and iam not in the spot
3) same day around 7 PM i have been asked by my friends and other co-site owners to come to police station to file the complaint.
4) After been to police station and around 10PM i have been asked to sign a small piece of paper as a formality and trusting my friends i have signed the small paper and went home. The complaint was written in kannada and hand writing is not clear.
5) i forgotten this episode
6) In 2015 April i got summons from police station. Then i took the matter serious and understood from police that i signed as witness for the compound fencing demolishing.
7) I requested the police that i have not seen the demolishing event and also do not know the person behind this cause.
8) He adviced me to spell the same matter in court.
9) In june 2015 i appeared in court and said the truth that i have not seen the demolishing event. The court recorded my statement.
10) Police also assured that i will not be troubled in this matter.
11) To-day some other site owner called me and asked to stand as witness in this matter. Then in detailed i explained the matter and asked him to explore the other witnesses.
12) Now my doubt is can again court or police ask me to appear for this witness issue. Please advice

No. If your cross is not done then Court may issue Summons for that. However, you don't need to worry, just keep in my unless and until you get summons from Court, you don't need to visit Court.

I appeared once in the court and my witness statement has been recorded.

I said already, unless and until you get summons from Court, you don't need to go Court. Though you may have appeared in Witness box once, but we are not sure whether cross has been taken place, so to complete cross you may get summons. However, if everything has been done then don't worry.

Court may summon you for witness cross. Generally once the witness is complete, such position seldom faced.
