Only the person who is to be examined or cross examined is required to be personally present before the court.
No party of the case is required to be present in person if their counsels are present.

RESPONDANT MUST BE PRESENT ON EACH DATE TO DEFEND CASE PROPERLY AND TO TELL REQUIRED INFORMATION TO HIS LAWYER.
