In the affidavit filed in support of the petition, it is stated that due to ill-health the petitioner/accused No.1 as well as accused No.21 could not attend before the Court below on 20.08.2019. Therefore, the counsel appearing for them before the Court below filed a petition under Section 317 Cr.P.C. to dispense with their appearance. But, however, the Court below erroneously dismissed the application. 6. Learned counsel for the petitioner/accused No.1 would submit that the petitioner/accused No.1 is regularly attending before the Court below on every date of hearing; that on 20.08.2019, due to ill-health, the petitioner/accused No.1 could not attend before the Court below and the counsel appearing for him filed a petition under Section 317 Cr.P.C. to dispense with his appearance, but, however, the Court below on erroneous consideration of facts without considering the facts and circumstances of case, simply dismissed the application without assigning any reason and ultimately, he prayed to set aside the docket order, dated 20.08.2019. 7.
