Exemption from personal appearance

Hello Experts ,


I have seen many topics in this Forum , discussing about  Exemption from Personal appearance during the court hearings with respect to the cases of 498a


I would like to know:


1). will getting Exemption from Personal appearance be easily obtained with valid reasons?



2). If at all few people in the case are Exempted  from Personal appearance , will there be any chances of the opposite party to file a counter petition for cancellation of such Exemptions?

Exemption is allowed by courts in cases where the person is ill, outside country or staying far away etc... Opposite party can object exemption but it is the discretion of court. For more call 09910657998 mahavir singh advocate.

Exemption can be  granted as a rule since law says presence of accused is needed at the time of evidence only.

 

The applications has to be properly drafted which is not done hence exemption is not granted. There are large no of SUPREME COURT citations in the matter that even an advocate can give application for exemption even after issue of NBW.

 

Yes opposite side can always object but it is just like bail once granted than it can not be easily cancelled. More over exemptions are granted for limited period and not for complete duration  of case so any objection of opposite side has no meaning.

 

  Far all accused particularly for summons cases and marriage matters exemption should be sought and properly followed up it will have to be granted.

 

It is not INERLOCUTORY order so if exemption is not granted should go in revision since it will solve all the major trouble of attending courts from long distances.

Yes it can be granted. But this opportunity should not be lost to raise fundamental objections.

It is right for a fair trial. Law provided attendance only at the time of evidence and not for every dates as now being followed.

 

Supreme court citations in this matter must be properly used.

Despite plethora of citations, exemption is as good as the discretion of the court. Which can be exercised only when the court sees necessary condition and that does not cause unnecessary delay in the case.

 

In normal condition the evidence is taken in the presence of the accused and not otherwise.
