Personal presence of accused u/s 438 cr.p.c.

Is it mandatory for an accused/petitioner to appear before the court while applying for a pre-arrest bail made under Sec 438 of Cr.P.C., especially at the time of motion?

The accused is going to applicate the Anticipatory bail befor the court of sessions U/S 438 with the help of his counsel so accused is not necessary.
