Case filed in another state is it necessary to appear in that state?
Sir, I stay in delhi. Suppose any party files a defamation suit / cheating suit against me in Patna court, do I have to travel down to Patna to appear if notice is sent to me at delhi address. I donot maintain any address in Patna anylonger.

Yes, if the matter is filed in Patna, then you will have to travel to Patna if court serves you a notice.
Since, it is a criminal case, so you will have to be present on every date. However few times you can move an application of exemption citing appropriate reasons.
