Yes. The Accused can file a Petition under Section 205 of Cr.P.C. citing reasons for his inability to attend the proceedings of the Court. He might also pray that his Counsel be allowed to proceed with his case in his absence and in the result any adverse judgment is pronounced he would oblige the same.

Any order passed under Dispense with Petition is an Interim Order and at any stage the Court in its discretion may revoke the Order and ask for the presence of the Accused. Dispense with Petition is allowed in both Police instituted Complaint and in Private Complaint.
