In regular bail Is presence of accused compulsory


12-Aug-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Me and my mother are on 5 days Notice Bail in 498a/406/34. 1. Please advise if presence of accused is mandatory /compulsory when regular bail is to be applied? 2. If yes, please tell me some landmark Delhi HC or SC judgement regarding this. 3. Also is there any SC judgement which implies that ritualistic /routine presence of accused is not mandatory in a criminal trial. I know that Section 205 and 317 can be applied. However any SC or HC Judgements regarding same?

If you are on bail at present, it would be necessary for you to be present during hearing for regular bail. You may however file for an exemption if there are pressing circumstances. There are large number of judgments on 498A by several courts. If you have already engaged services of a lawyer, then your lawyer should be able to tell you the same. Accused may not be present only when regular bail is granted.
