Dear experts we have been accused in an fir for which we had applied for anticipatory bail 2 years ago but we never surrendered to the court or police never arrested us (bail status shown in civil court website is contested allowed). Now this days our lawyer is telling that we have to get surrendered with sureties to the lower court and then only the court will start trial and chargesheet also filed 2 years ago(inquired by the I/O), but in the website of criminal court complex when I am putting our fir details it is showing record not found , so my question is do we have to surrender on our own to start the trial process or the court will issue summon for our appearance or taking cognizance of chargesheet.

You need to furnish surity bond at your own rather waiting for the summons of the court so better to follow the advice of your lawyer failing which court shall have to issue notice.

In my understanding, you need to appear in the Court only after you have been summoned for trial.

You can surrender before the concerned court and obtain regular bail the same day on the basis of the previously obtained anticipatory bail.
After that you may appear before court on the next date of hearing in order to protect your interests.
