Quash for absconder

Since there are no provisions in law through which engagement of advocate is compulsory. Person may file or defend any case personally without engaging advocate as per U/S 32 of Advocate Act. You may send your relative as your council in the court after securing power of attorney from you. Your council will plead for you for your quashing.

however you should apply for anticipatory bail U/S 438 CrPC first.

thanks for your reply.

My major question remains: Can a person who has been declared absconder in a dowry case, apply for Quash ?

yes, by sending his council in High Court.

Yes, an abscounder can apply for quash, but then High Court can direct him to be present before it, which would create problems for him.

When proceedings are clearly irregular and void the courts will quash them, both in civil and criminal cases
