Is it law that the complainant in a criminal case (lower court) has to be physically present on every date/hearing?

Yes, the complainant is required to be personally present on each and every hearing in a criminal complaint unless he has been granted exemption by the concerned court.

In a state case the complainant is required toappear before the Court in prosecution evidence to prove allegations / charges against the accused.
In a cheque dishonour case, it is not compulsory for the complainant to be present on each and every date.
It depends upon case to case.

1. Complainant NEED NOT be present on every "DATE" provided his Lawyer is present on the Date.
2. HOWEVER "complainant" MUST be present on every "HEARING" proceedings in the Court.
Note: the difference between a Court Date and a Hearing Date.
