Hi,
498A first court date is in another 10 days. Could see this info in AP police website. However the accused have not received the summons/notices from court so far.
Questions:
1. If summons/notices, do not come before the first hearing date, do the accused still have to appear before the court ?
2. Normally , How many days before the first court date, will the summons/court notices be sent ?
3. What usually happens during the first court date ?
4. Is it mandatory to have a Lawyer that I should appoint before appearing for first date ? I am still in the process of finding one good one.
PS: All the accused got the AB and currently on bail.
Thanks !
