Plaintiff? Do you mean the Victim? Plaintiff is used in civil cases. It depends, the victim does not have to show up to criminal court unless they were a witness to the crime or if they were directed to do so by the court. If the victim was the only witness to the crime then the state may not have enough evidence to proceed further.

What is Plaintiff's application is dismissed with costs?

I think this means when the Plaintiff's case is dismissed, meaning the court is not going forward with the charges, and with the costs, means the Plaintiff is responsible for the court costs. Usually this is done when the court feels the case isn't supported by facts, or evidence, or that the case shouldn't have been filed to begin with.

How much time does the dea have to appeal a case after charges are dropped?

Do you mean dropped or dismissed? Charges are dropped by the prosecutors office and since (presumably) the case never reached trial, no judicial action took place that action is not appealable in court. On the other hand, charges which are dismissed by the court CAN be appealed and there is a "reasonable" time period for remedying the underlying reason. Ask your defense attorney.

How do you open a court case?

Court cases are introduced by the plaintiff, whether it's the government in a criminal case or a plaintiff in a civil case. This side of the case is known as the prosecution, who'll actually bring a case into court. The other side of the court case is the side that answers the charges for which the case is brought into court. This is known as the defense. In either case, the charges are introduced to the clerk's office of the property division of the court in order to commence criminal or civil action.
