Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

Regarding : attendance of a complainant u/s 138 N I Act
Please let me know whether, the complainant is required to attend the court from starting of working hours of the court i.e. 10 a.m. or one should be present only when his name is called by the court employee. What are the rules regarding complainant to attend the court? If it is proved that he is not present from 10 a.m., but only present at the time when he is called by the court employee, whether it is default of the complainant under any law of provision that he is not present from 10 a.m.?

Check whether any specific order of specific time has been made by the Court.

If there is not such specific order, then complainant may remain present in court either since 10 am onwards or when his name is called.
