You have been ordered to appear in court and testify.
Whether you appear or not is up to you.
However, if you do not appear, the Court could issue a petition for rule to show cause, so that you show up and explain why you did not appear. If you are found in contempt of the order, you could be sentenced to jail or pay a fine.
