I have filled cheque bounce case , amount of cheque is Rs.21000/- in the first appearance court even not taken plea and also not asked accused for bail papers. Court also waive accused for personal appearance in matter to face trial.

Is it common practice in cheque bounce cases or advocate of accused is so smart that, in absence of my advocate he convinced court for non appearance of accused to face trial personally.

My advocate was absent in court . Court asked me to file evidence in next date.

What are next stages/steps in cheque bounce case and how much time the verdict in matter come.

You complete your evidence in just one hearing and subsequent 3 maximum hearings shall be granted to the accused for his defence evidence, if he wants to bring and then case shall be decided after hearing both the parties. None can anticipate about the time to be exhausted in completing such proceedings.

Exemption from personal appearance can be granted by the trail court, which has no legal infirmity.

Why did you and your lawyer not appear before the court when the case was taken up?

Proceed as advised by your lawyer.
