Declaration of Proclaimed Offender is one thing which means he can be arrested any time where ever he is found.

If an accused has been declared as PO then he can be arrested at any place he is found. His credibility has already been impreached. His property can be attached and sold off after a certain period. Section 85(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 says that if PO voluntarily appears before the Court or brought before it within 2 years of proclamation and apprise to the satisfaction of the court that he didn't know about the proclamation then his attached property can be released or if sold proceeds of it can be given to the accused. No affidavit requirement is explicitly mentioned.

If he deposes an affidavit then of course he must appear before the court that has declared him a proclaimed offender. Accused cannot not appear before a court and file affidavits at the same time. I have to see the case file to give a more specific answer in case needed.

Hi! There is no law which prohibited that a proclaimed offender can't file an affidavit before any authority including court, but there is a practical difficulty to tender an affidavit in evidence before court b/c for that PO need to sought cancellation of PO order first. Otherwise there is no issue.
