To understand your case, you first need to be aware about what Summons are.
A summon is a legal document that is issued by a Court on a person involved in a legal proceeding. When a legal action is taken against a person or when any person is required to appear in the court as a witness in a proceeding, to call upon such person and ensure his presence on the given date of the proceeding, summons are served.
A summon is served when a suit has been initiated by the plaintiff against the defendant, the court directs to issue summons to the defendant as this ensures a fair trail. If the summons are not duly served then no action can be taken against the defendant.
But in your case, if you are interested, then you can lodge the FIR in concerned police station against the person who you fell threatened of. And if you have any messages or recordings of that person that prove that he is threatening your Right of Life then you have to submit those to the police officers while filing the FIR so that it makes the entire legal process more strong.
You can take proper legal action against that person under Section 503 of the Indian Penal Code and he will be punishable for threatening your life under Section 506 of IPC.
