Hi

Thanks Ramachari sir. Thanks for your reply.

Due to my present judge going for some training, my 498a case is going to transfer to another bench.

I heard that the new judge is not accepting if all accuseds are not attending for adjornments. Even he is not accepting if petitioner and witnessis not attending also. But in 498a trail there is nothing to do with us untill they finish all witnessis chief and cross examination. So till court need our statements i want to ask one person ( A2) will attend for all adjornments behalf of all. 

Is it better to file rhe above petition in lower court? Or shall i go to high court?

Thanks

I agree with learned advocate Mr. Ramachary  that you can file a petition u/s 205Cr.P.c seeking permission of the court to dispense with the persona appearance of the accused.
