What is Hazra Petition 

A Hazra Petition is not a standard or widely recognized term in Indian legal procedure, and you likely mean a “Hazri” Petition or “Hajri” Petition, which is more commonly referred to in court practice. Let me explain:


What is a Hazri (or Hajri) Petition?

A Hazri Petition (sometimes colloquially called a “Hazra Petition”) is filed by an advocate in Indian courts to mark their appearance on behalf of a party when the party is not personally appearing in court. This is especially common in criminal matters or procedural hearings where the personal appearance of the party can be excused.


Purpose of a Hazri Petition

To inform the court that the advocate is appearing on behalf of the party.

To excuse the personal appearance of the accused/party for that particular date.

To prevent issuance of a warrant or other adverse order for non-appearance.
