Yes.
You can make your first appearance through an advocate representing you.
This is legal. He should seek exemption u/s205 cr PC.
It proper authority is given then he can even conduct further proceedings.

Yes. Section 138 proceedings are summons case proceeding so you need not to go in person you may appear through pleader/ advocate also, who will appear on your behalf and then next date or thereafter you can appear in person
