Order V Rule 4 sets distance limits for personal appearance: within local limits, or within 50 miles, or within 200 miles if public transport is available. 250 miles exceeds all limits — so the court cannot compel personal appearance, though it can still issue summons for appearance through pleader.

1. 1 Pick up CPC.
2. 2 Go to Order V Rule 4.
3. 3 Read: no party shall be ordered to appear in person unless resident (a) within local limits, or (b) outside limits but within 50 miles (or 200 miles with public conveyance).
4. 4 250 miles with conveyance exceeds the 200-mile limit → court will NOT issue personal appearance summons.

The text reads: Order V Rule 4: No personal appearance required if defendant resides beyond 200 miles (with public conveyance) from the court.
