How to avoid unnecessary court attendande

How can I avoid travelling 200 km in a day long trip to appear in a trumped up DV case? Usually nothing happens when I go to the court except another date. Are medical reasons valid, because I am facing numerous medical problems.

Also, my lawyer is always forcing me to come to the court because he wants to be sure of getting his fees. He gets paid 500 Rs while the trip costs me about 5000 Rs with taxi booking and expenses on the way, not to mention fatigue and lost earnings.

Thanks in advance for your tips.

Dear Mr.Vishwa,

May I suggest you to file transfer petition in Supreme Court.

Best Regards

perhaps you will be getting relief by changing your lawyer.

the otherway, you tell your lawyer for getting permanent examption for apperance at court, court will sanction it seeing your conditions. but there is a risk in this system that the case will go in the grip of your lawyar totaly and you may suffer in future. as it is a dv case, a criminal case, it is better to keep watch in it's every step. perticularly witness and arguement stage.

you may pray hc for fixing a time limit. if hc gives so, the case will be decided within that limit, otherwise it will be contempt of hc.
