No you don't require to be present yourself personally. Unless the court calls you it is lawyer who has to be present in front of the court not you.

For more information you can contact me on 9818906147

Thank you for your response.

However, I have been told that incase I am not being able to personally present alongside my lawyer during filing of suit, someone with a POA from me needs to be present and initiate proceedings on my behalf.
