The case of accused Bourke Street killer driver Dimitrious Gargasoulas is returning to court.

The 27-year-old has been excused from appearing at Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Monday when his case is listed for a mention.

He is accused of deliberately driving a car into pedestrians at Bourke St mall before crashing after police shot him.
