Respected Lawyers/Members,
I spoke to my lawyer 2 days back and he told me in my case Police has now filed chargesheet after more than a year for 498A and Sec.4 DP Act and date of appearance for apperance bail (he told me this terminology) is fixed as April 15th .I was reading Sec.207CrPC and it states Magistrate issues a summons if he feels he need to take cognizance . I remember asking earlier and respected lawyers in this forum had told me Regd. Post with AD is the way summons is served.
My query is if I don't receive the formal notice from court , should i still go as per my lawyer's advice or wait for Court's notice. What if Court notice doesn't come at all ? Will there be any harm caused to me if i don't go until i receive court notice ? I am asking this query due to my office manager knowing my case and he insisting that unless i show him some written prooof from court that i have been called , he will not sanction my leave in view of me being involved in some urgent work for next 2 months.
Can magistrate issue Non bailable warrant against me even though i didnt receive notice and thus didnt go ?How will i be able to convince magistrate that i never received notice and hence didnt appear if i go later .
Can you guide me about the law behind it .
