According to which section of the Cr.P.C can a Magistrate, upon finding sufficient reason, waive the requirement for a person to personally appear when asked to justify why they should not be required to execute a bond for maintaining peace, and allow them to be represented by a lawyer?
Explanation
Section 116 of the Cr.P.C authorizes the Magistrate to excuse a person from personal attendance if there is sufficient cause, permitting representation through a pleader when the person is called upon to show cause for executing a bond to keep the peace.
