Under Section 200, the court cannot listen to the accused, as accused comes to the picture only after the Magistrate proceeds to send summons/ warrant subsequently.

Dear experts I understand but witness since known to accused summoned can he bring his advocate.

You have not posted complete facts. Please post query, not a riddle.

The complaint is still in the stage of pre-summoning evidence where witness asked to produce documents (stated to be known to accused) can not seek/ be allowed lawyer's service.
