Summon Notice Kya Hota Hai?

Summon notice ek official court order hota hai jo kisi vyakti ko court ke samne present hone ke liye bulata hai.

Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), 1973 – Section 61 se 69 ke tahat court summon issue karti hai.

Court keh rahi hoti hai: “Aapka is case se koi relation hai, please aa kar apna side rakhiye.”

Summon ka matlab yeh nahi ki:

Aap guilty ho
Aapko arrest kar liya gaya
Aap criminal declare ho gaye

Matlab sirf itna:

Court ko aapki presence ya explanation chahiye
