NON ISSUE OF SUMMONS is cognizance?

Dear Senior Learned Members,

Will the IO/SHO issue summons as per CrPC to the complainant and witness

or they can bypass it and call the complainant and witness by sending POLICE CONSTABLE or thruogh phone without issuing summons

QUE:

Is it an offence to do so?

Can anyone please enlighten me

No it is not an offence, but police have to submit the report to the court regarding service of summons, it can not be avoided.
