<h1>Section 356: Trials of Proclaimed Offenders in Absentia, State-Funded Defense, Appeals Require Offender's Presence.</h1> Section 356 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, addresses the trial of proclaimed offenders in absentia. If a proclaimed offender evades arrest, they waive their right to be present at trial, allowing the court to proceed after a 90-day period post-charge framing. The court must issue two arrest warrants, publish notices in newspapers, inform relatives, and display trial notices at the offender's residence and local police station. If unrepresented, the offender is provided state-funded legal defense. Trials can use audio-video recordings, and judgments can proceed despite the offender's voluntary absence. Appeals require the offender's presence, with a three-year limit on conviction appeals. The State may extend these provisions to other absconders.
