A Brief about Summons

A Brief about Summons
A Summon is a legal document/notice issued by the court which notifies the party in dispute to appear before the court on a date mentioned in the summon itself.
Section 62 CRPC shows hoe these summons can be served.
(1) Every summons shall be served by a police officer, or subject to such rules as the State Government may make in this behalf, by an officer of the court issuing it or other public servant.

(2) The summons shall, if practicable, be served personally on the person summoned, by delivering or tendering to him one of the duplicates of the summons.

(3) Every person on whom a summons is so served shall, if so required by the serving officer, sign a receipt therefor on the back of the other duplicate.
