The court modified the trial court's order to grant the petitioner exemption from physical appearance during plea proceedings if properly represented, and allowed him to avail section 313(5) Cr.P.C. at an appropriate stage. However, the court deferred the decision on physical appearance at judgment delivery to a later stage and clarified that the petitioner cannot be compelled to use specific counsel against his choice. The trial court was directed to expedite proceedings without unnecessary adjournments. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
