There can be only two possibility: (a) participation i.e. filing vakalat or appear in person or (b) non-participation i.e. not filing vakalat and not appearing in person at the first hearing. Non-participation is ex-parte.
After appearing, if the defendant do not appear, he will be doing so at his peril. The court would go with future steps in his absence.
