M.C.No.256 of 2017 even dates, by virtue of this order, so that there will be little convenience, and shall not insist the personal appearance of the parties herein if representing through advocate under Section 13 of the Family Courts Act, if any, but for reconciliation and for giving of evidence, including in the maintenance case under Section 126(2) Cr.P.C.
