Is accused persons appearance mandatory in court during judgment
20-Jun-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Sir/Madam . I just want to know one thing , that the accused persons attendance is mandatory during the judgment pronounced by the criminal court ?? If it is mandatory & intentionally the accused is not present in the court during the judgment then what action can take by the court against such accused person at that time?? Please answer my question if possible . Thank You.
As per CrPc vide sec 353(6)- If the accused is not in custody, he shall be required by the Court to attend to hear the judgment pronounced, except where his personal attendance during the trial has been dispensed with and the sentence is one of fine only or he is acquitted; the word mandatory is missing in the section.

Generally it is mandatory but, in some special cases Ld. Court may pronounce judgment in absence of accused on the basis of a prayer of defence counsel if the judgement be of acquittal . In other cases a Warrant of arrest may be issued against absentee accused.
