Dear learned gentlemen and gentle ladies,
Scenario:
1: party A files a case against party B for Trespass and Assault.
2: a number of years (say 4) pass before the case comes up for hearing.
3: party A (the alleged victim) has since migrated and is unable to be present at the hearing; and is not represented.
The question:
Should the court (a) Summarily dismiss the Trespass and Assault charge against the alleged perpetrator (b) Issue a summons for the alleged victim to be present (c) failing which - order the arrest of the alleged victim for not showing up in court?
