I believe the questioner is confusing their terminology. Subpoeanas are a legal summons which, must be obeyed, that are issued by the court (or under its authority) to compel an individual to appear before them to give testimony.
Subpoeanas are not 'charged' in court. A "charge" is a formal presentment to the court of a criminal offense to be tried.
