The relief is available in the interests of justice even in serious cases, but only with safeguards such as an undertaking on identity, continued representation by counsel, permission to record evidence in the accused's absence, and preservation of the court's power to require appearance later if needed. Applying that principle, the refusal to exempt the accused from personal appearance was set aside and exemption was granted subject to conditions. en-us Mon, 16 Dec 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 28 Dec 2022 08:18:50 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=305868 Section 205 CrPC permits dispensation of an accused's personal appearance where insisting on attendance would cause disproportionate hardship and the trial can still proceed effectively through counsel.
