In such a circumstances your father may apply before the honourable court for exemption from physical appearance. Your counsel may proceed with the trial in his absence if your exemption application is allowed by the learned court.

Well, you cannot attend on behalf of your accused Father, considering, you are not the accused, your Father is! Your Father can be exempted from attending trials if he has fallen sick. However, you need to prove sickness of your father before the court.
