• An Application for Exemption from Personal Appearance under Section 205 or Section 317 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) is a legal document that is filed by an accused person or their attorney, requesting exemption from appearing in court in person during a criminal trial.
• Section 205 of the CrPC allows the court to dispense with the personal attendance of the accused if the accused is not likely to abscond or tamper with evidence. Similarly, Section 317 of the CrPC allows the court to dispense with the personal attendance of the accused in certain cases such as when the accused is a woman, or when the accused is sick or infirm.
• The application should contain reasons why the accused should be allowed to be absent from court and should be supported by relevant documents.
• The court will consider the nature and gravity of the offense, the stage of the proceedings, and the accused's criminal history before deciding whether to grant the exemption.
