Grant one more opportunity to your advocate to appear, especially if there is a valid reason.
If the repeated absence is causing unnecessary delay, the court may proceed with the hearing after giving an opportunity to the accused and counsel.
In some cases, particularly if the accused is unrepresented, the court may appoint a Legal Aid Counsel to ensure the proceedings are not delayed and the accused's right to a fair trial is protected.
The court may also record the repeated absence of your advocate and warn that no further adjournments will be granted without sufficient cause.
If your advocate is consistently not appearing, you should not wait indefinitely. You can:
Contact your advocate immediately and ask them to appear on the next date.
If they are unwilling or unavailable, engage another advocate and file a vakalatnama.
If you cannot afford a lawyer, request the court to provide a Legal Aid Counsel through the District Legal Services Authority.
The court will not normally frame charges solely because your advocate is absent without ensuring that you have had a reasonable opportunity to be represented, especially in a serious criminal case.
जर मागील ३ तारखांना फक्त तुम्हीच कोर्टात हजर होता आणि तुमचे वकील अनुपस्थित होते, तर ही आदर्श परिस्थिती नाही. चार्ज ठरविण्याच्या (Hearing Before Charge) टप्प्यावर वकिलाची उपस्थिती महत्त्वाची असते.
कोर्ट पुढीलपैकी कोणतीही कारवाई करू शकते:
वकिलाला शेवटची संधी देऊन पुढील तारीख देऊ शकते.
वारंवार अनुपस्थिती असल्यास युक्तिवाद पूर्ण करून पुढील प्रक्रिया सुरू करू शकते किंवा आरोप (charge) निश्चित करू शकते.
आवश्यक वाटल्यास तुम्हाला नवीन वकील नेमण्याचा सल्ला देऊ शकते.
तुमच्या वकिलाशी तातडीने संपर्क साधा. जर ते नियमितपणे अनुपस्थित राहत असतील, तर दुसऱ्या वकिलाचा विचार करणे योग्य ठरेल.
फौजदारी खटल्यातील ही एक स्टेज आहे. फौजदारी खटल्यांमध्ये वकीलापेक्षा आरोपीची प्रत्येक तारखेला उपस्थिती महत्त्वाची असते. जेव्हा Hearing before charge ही स्टेज झाल्यानंतर कोर्ट तुम्हाला गुन्हा कबूल आहे की नाही हे विचारल्यानंतर साक्षीदारांना बोलवले जाते त्यानंतर आरोपींचे वकील कोर्टात उपस्थित राहून साक्षीदारांची उलटतपासणी घेतात. आरोपीने खटल्याचा निकाल लागेपर्यंत प्रत्येक तारखेला कोर्टात हजर राहणे गरजेचे आहे.
