It all depends upon merit of the case.
Re: criminal law section 138
You can not claim on the basis of MoU.
Judge need to decide the appeal on merits, whether the appellant-accused is present or not.
If Judge confirms the punishment and the appellant accused is not present to serve the sentence, then necessary process to secure accused will be issued like NBW and proclamation.
