In general, after the filing of a chargesheet, the court may issue summons to the accused person to appear before it for the first hearing. The accused is required to attend the hearing and respond to the charges against them. The court may then fix the next date for the hearing, and the accused will be required to attend the court on that date as well.

In some cases, the court may also grant bail to the accused, which allows them to be released from custody until the trial is completed. If the accused is granted bail, they may be required to attend the court on certain dates for the trial proceedings.

The exact number of times the accused is required to attend the court will depend on the specific details of the case and the discretion of the court. It is important for the accused to attend all court hearings as directed by the court, failing which the court may issue warrants against them or take other legal action.
