If it's a civil case, presence is not mandatory

State more details like type of case

If the respondent wants to remain present, he/she can file an application to adjourn the hearing mentioning the reason

Since the case is criminal, presence is mandatory

You can file an application for exemption from personal appearance mentioning the reason

In civil cases presence of response t is not necessary 

in criminal case presence of accused is necessary 

Court would adjourn the case if accused is not present 

In criminal case presence of accused is necessary 

In civil suit or in quasi civil criminal proceeding the physical appearance of the party is never mandatory except during his evidence stage.

Only in the criminal case on the day of judgement the accused person is required to be present in person.

Mostly the presence is necessary if he is absent verdict will be reserved

There are two scenarios i.e., in civil case, the presence of Respondent is not necessary on date of pronouncement of Verdict / Judgment but in Criminal Case the presence of Accused is mandatory.

If Accused is not present on even date, the Court may adjourn the pronouncement to some other date (its discretion)

The day of pronouncement of judgement is an important day. It cannot be changed or repeated.

Yea you have to be present if it's a criminal matter.

No there is no another day.

1. YES .... IF it is a Criminal case THEN "accused (respondent)" is liable to be present, at time of pronouncement of oral judgment.  IF pronounced guilty, THEN accused will be arrested /penalized immediately, unless appropriate application is moved before the court.

2. IF Accused is not present without any exemption on record, THEN warrant maybe issued against him.

In criminal case, on judgement date either accused or pleader/advocate must present.

If its a criminal case then the respondent shall fila an application for exemption from appearance in the court with a valid reason.

Absence should be in the knowledge of court.

Thanks

The information furnished in the earlier posts are connected to the criminal case proceedings only.

In civil case it is not necessary.

If you can't attend court on the day of your hearing, you may be able to postpone. This is called an adjournment.

If the court adjourns your matter, you will receive a new hearing date. 

The advocate of respondent can remain present if respondent is not able to present himself before court.

See if it is criminal case then accused needs to be present before the case.

Criminal case court can issue warrant and can adjourn the matter.

1. Yes if it's criminal case then it is mandatory for accuse to present in case on day of judgement as judgement will be pronounced in presence of accused.

2. Yes court will give next day but it can have negative impact on case of accuse to stay absent on day of judgement.
