Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

Personal Appearence

In a case against a builder lodged by me in Consumer Forum, the respondent had never turned up for hearings but one of his office employees and a councilor pleaded for him. It happened that one of the documents he signed and submitted in the Forum was of perjuries in nature. This is being taken up by the Forum in a separate case on my application. Since the on coming enquiry is called for by the Forum to ensure without doubt that the contents of the documents had been read out to him by his councilor and he had signed with full knowledge of the implications, can I plead for the personal appearance of the builder?

The court is already working in your favour. Many litigations are lost because people get over aggressive.
