In a case under Cooperative Court, the matter was adjourned merely because the defendant was absent, though his lawyer was ready to cross examine the witness (Plaintiff). Can some one enlighten of the procedural rules if any and oblige.

Proceedings have to be conducted in the presence of the defendant, unless exempted from personal appearance. Opportunity to defend the case cannot be denied to the defendant.
