1. The first mistake that you made was to not to engage a lawyer of your own who could have monitored the case and kept you in loop of the outcome of every hearing. He could also take corrective action if the case was botched up in any manner.
2. You may apply for transferring the case to your home town if your appearance in the court at the place where it is pending adjudication is fraught with a threat to your life, or your precarious medical condition make sit difficult for you travel.
Consult a lawyer personally and acquaint him with the entire background of the case so that he may advise you the further legal recourse.
