SERVICE OF SUMMONS

VIJAYA SATHYA (Querist) 30 October 2009 This query is : Resolved
dear sir

I am a lawyer practising IPL.By the by

I am an A-2 u/s.506-(1) and on bail.The H`onable court issued the first summon to A-1 & A-2 to apper before the court on a specified date. But I was not in my house at the time of service of summon and also my family member not signed the summon as a token of acknowledgement.

my query is
* Would they cancel the bail & issue a arrest warrent immediately by not responding the first summon

* Or would they issue a second service of summon

kindly clarify as I am very much worried
Since this is the first case against me, I dont want to share this issue with my immediate collegue members( They respect me a lot)

Awaiting your speedy response & Thanks

LAWYER ALSO HUMAN BEING,HE WILL ALSO FACE SOME PROBLEMS LIKE THIS,DONOT FEEL SHY DARE TO FACE THE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. IPC 506-1 IS BAILABLE,IN ALL PRIVATE COMPLAINT AT CRIMINAL IS THE 90% USED SECTION. IMMEDIATELY YOU CAN GET BAIL AT ALL THE TIMES BUT PRODUCE SUFFICIENT REASON FOR NOT ACCEPTING WITH A MEMO OF APPEARANCE.
ALL THE BEST

As per the rule court generally issue summon again in such cases , if it is not served to your family members and not affixed on the conscious part of your house also. Even if warrant is issued. Surrender himself before court and apply for recall of warrant. Generally court recalls warrant in such cases if it feel that warranted person is obedient to law and court also. I think you should surrender yourself before the date fixed and should pray to court to hear your plea before the date fixed. It would show your obedience. It would better be guided through your lawyer.

Nothing to worry in your case. Second summons shall be issued and if warrants are issued even then nothing to worry. Since it is bailable offense, bail shall immediately be granted.
