Section 205 Cr.P.C to dispense with your personal attendance, but you must file it in the Summons stage. So, file it in the first hearing. What do u mean by summons stage.
So, file it in the first hearing. Can we say that in the second stage dispense with the personal appearance can’t be filed but section 205 of the crpc doesn’t say that we can’t file in the second hearing.

Summons stage means the first appearance after service of summons on an accused. Application for exemption of accused from personal appearance can be filed at any stage in a summons/summary trial
