He may be a government officer, but as far as the case is concerned, he is an accused.
Therefore the procedures of law for issuing summons have to be followed.
The government office is not the custodian for its employees.
The relationship between the government and its employess is confined to industraial relationship alone and the government cannot be held responsible for its employees' criminal activities outside the office.
If at all the government is informed about the crimninal issues pending against its employees, it can conduct departmental inquiry as per CCS rules and would initiate proper action as prescribed in the rules and regulations.
