Yes you can send your advocate but even you can also appear in the case need not worry and you can give your statement in the court that you will repay the alleged amount after a period of 2 months. Further more details are required.

Asking for time to pay and not appearing on the next date are two different things altogether.
As u intend to pay the complainant, U can seek time by entering into a compromise with him before the court itself. However, if u do not appear on the date of hearing, then warrants might be issued against u. So it is better that u appear before the court and seek time to pay. Time is usually granted by the court depending upon the intent of the complainant.

Yes, advocate can be go on your behalf, you cam also go on date, if you will request for further time for payment, judge can give you time for the same. Please don't avoid or miss the date because this is criminal matter , on the next date warrant may be issued by the Court against your non appearance.

You should ideally go to the court and enter appearance. Once there is a commitment given to the court in a bonafide manner after discussing all the facts and circumstances with your advocate, getting two months should not be difficult. However, it needs to be carefully strategised within the four corners of law.
