on your behalf your advocate may file permanant exemption application ( also known as--- TAHUKMASANI HAJARI MAAFI) before the concerned court.... n its court's discretion to allow/reject the same.... (criminal matters)

Courts generally disallow criminal matters

File petition u/s 205 of crpc. On proper explanaton the exemption is granted as a matter of course.

section 317 Cr.P.C.

I agree with Mr. Barman that the application has to be under S.205. S.317 Cr.P.C has some different purpose.

have a look at S.317 Cr.P.C

otherwise Mr. Anonymous you move an application before the trial court, if the same is declined then only approach HC against the dismissal order.

Yes. If you filed a petition under section 205 with a valid reasons mean your appearance may be dispensed by court. But distance only not enough for your prayer.

It depends on the case whether criminal if so either under NI 138 or otherwise.

You must fight on this issue and go in revision if not allowed.

SC is libral in granting exemption but you have to attack on two fronts one your hardships and illegality of action against you.

Ask your lawyer to proceed U/S 205 of Cr.P.C.

I agree.

Advocate Bhartesh goyal (Expert) 20 November 2010
It is the discretion of the magistrate u/s 205,317(1)Cr.P.C, throughout or at any stage of proceedings in summons case where due to the far distance at which the accused resides or carries on business or on account of any physical or other good reasons the magistrate feels that dispensing with the personal attendance of the accused would only be the interest of justice.

Usually section 317 of cr.p.c allowed for condone the absence in a particular day only.. Like wise section 205 allowed by the magistrate in small cases only.. I mean if the punishment is fine only mean 205 petition will be allowed.. So you have to file a dispense petition before the madurai bench of madras high court.. If you can send me your case details.. If you need any help mean just contact me. Right now am practising in madurai high court only..
