such expenses are given by court generally where u were called and u should have claimed from there. if you have to go there again then tell the court that you were not given the expenses last time and keep that notice with you on which u were called.

When in a case any witness is being called by the state then his expenses are also being paid by the state,so you submit your bill to trial court along with an application praying for payment of travelling expenses.

You have to apply to the court for reimbursement of travelling expenses as it is the duty of court to ensure payment of batta for any witness who is summoned by it.
