Section 205 of c.r.p.c

Dear All members,

 

Can I file an application under section 205 of the Code of criminal procedure, 1973 before the concerned magistrate for the dispensation of personal appearance of an accused before a Criminal Court" . before taking bail from the court.

Note that the magistrate have already taken cognizance of the matter and issued summons.

Also note that the offences are non-cognizable and bailable.


Regards,

Dibakar Ray

MR.DIBANKAR ROY,

Kindly refer Hon.Supreme court observations in 

M/S. Bhaskar Industries v/s M/s Bhiwani Denim apparels ltd                                                          . This can be understood from Section 205(1) of the Code which says that whenever a magistrate issues a summons, he may, if he sees reason so to do, dispense with the personal attendance of the accused and permit him to appear by his pleader.

Thus, in appropriate cases the magistrate can allow an accused to make even the first appearance through a counsel. The magistrate is empowered to record the plea of the accused even when his counsel makes such plea on behalf of the accused in a case where the personal appearance of the accused is dispensed with.

Again thanks a lot.
