When a suit has been duly filed by presentation of a plaint, the Court must issue Summons to the defendant calling upon him to appear and answer the claim of the plaintiff by filling a written statement within thirty days from the date of service of Summons. 20 No summons, however, will be issued by the court if, at the time of presentation of plaint, the defendant is present and admits the plaintiff’s claim21.
No party shall be ordered to appear in person: Unless he resides (a) Within the local limits of the court’s or dinary original jurisdiction. (b) Outside such limits, but at a place less than 50 miles; or 200 miles (where public conveyance is available) from the courthouse.  Who is a woman not appearing in public, or  Who is entitled to exemption under the code. 2.4 Content of Summons24 The summons must contain a direction whether the date fixed is for settlement of issues only or for final disposal of the suit. In the letter case, the defendant should be directed to produce his witness. The Court must give sufficient time to the defendant to enable him to appear and answer the claim of the plaintiff on the day fixed. The summons should also contain an order to the defendant to produce all documents or copies thereof in his possession or power upon which he intends to rely on in support of his case25.
27 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, Summons to defendants.- Where a suit has been duly instituted, a summons may be issued to the defendant to appear and answer the claim and may be served in manner prescribed [on such day not beyond thirty days from date of the institution of the suit]. The words ‘on such date not beyond thirty days from the date of the institution of the suit’ do not mean that the summons must be served within thirty days of the date of the institution of the suit. The words added by amendment, fix outer time frame, by providing, that steps must be taken within thirty days from the dare of the institution of the suit, to issue summons. In other words, if the suit is instituted, for example, on 1st Jan, 2002 then the correct addresses of the defendants and the process fee must be filed in the court within thirty days so that summons be issued by the court not beyond thirty days from the date of the institution of the suit. The object is to avoid long delay in issue of summons for want of steps by the plaintiff.

2.9Postal service46 When an acknowledgement purporting to be signed by the defendant or his agent is received by the court or defendant or his agent refused to take delivery of summons when tendered to him, the court issuing the summons shall declare that the summons had been dully served on the defendant. A summons sent by registered post and returned with the endorsement "refused" is a good and valid service. Shahab vs Abdu. 52 DLR 305. Summons sent by registered post with acknowledgment receipt due would be considered duly served even if acknowledgment is lost or mislaid or not received by the Court. Abdur vs Shahabuddin 12 BLC (AD) 118. Same procedure is followed where summons was properly addressed, prepaid, and duly sent by registered post, acknowledgement due and the acknowledgement is lost or not received by the court within 30 days from the date of issue of the summons. Where the summons sent by registered post is retuned with an endorsement refused, the burden is on the defendant to prove that the endorsement is false. Under Order V Rule 10-A of the Code of Civil Procedure,1908, a copy of summons would be sent by registered post. A summons sent by registered post and returned with the endorsement "refused" is a good and valid service. Shahab vs Abdu. 52 DLR 305.

But service by hanging the notice on the outer dwelling of the Manager-incharge is no service' Mahaluxmi Bankvs Mohammad. 20 DLR 983 Summons sent by registered post with acknowledgment receipt due would be considered duly served even if acknowledgment is lost or mislaid or not received by the Court. Abdur vs Shahabuddin 12 BLC (AD) 118.A bare perusal of Order V, Rule 9, CPC clearly shows that service through process of court is mandatory. Summons to defendant residing within or outside the jurisdiction of the court shall be served through court officer or approved courier service or various other means such as registered post, speed post, fax, acknowledgment due, etc. Further, summons is presumed to be served if it does not back within thirty days from the date of issue.

In M. G. Dua v. Balli Mal Nawal Kishore, it was held that summons can be sent by registered post only in the first instance. If any other mode of service is tried in the first instance and if it fails to yield any fruitful result, it is not open to courts to endeavor to effect service on the defendants by registered post. R. 9 also states that where the defendant refuses to accept the summons, he is deemed to have been served. Similarly, where an acknowledgement or receipt purported to have been signed by the defendant is received by the court that the defendant has refused to take the delivery of the summons, the court will proceed treating the defendant as served. In the matter of Mst. Bhabia Devi v. Permanand Pd. Yadav, the ex parte decree was held to be rightly passed where the defendant refused to put her sign or thumb impression on summons when they were handed to her and she also refused to acknowledge the registered service.

If the court is satisfied it declares the service to have been duly effected.

3.8 Service where defendant resides out of Bangladesh and has no agent Order V, Rule 25 of the code of Civil Procedure, 1908 deals with Service where defendant resides out of Bangladesh and has no agent. Where the defendant resides out of India and has no agent in India empowered to accept service, the summons shall be addressed to the defendant at the place where he 1s residing and sent to him by post or by such courier service as may be approved by the High Court, by fax message or by Electronic Mail Service or by any other means as may be provided by the rules made by the High Court: Provided that where any such defendant resides in India or Pakistan, the summons together with copy thereof, may be sent for service on the defendant, to any court in that country (not being the High Court) having jurisdiction in the place where the defendant resides: Provided further that where any such defendant is a public officer in Bangladesh or Pakistan (not belonging to Bangladesh or, as the case may be, Pakistan Military, Naval or Air Forces) or is a servant of a railway company or local authority in that country, the summons together with a copy thereof, may be sent for service on the defendant to such officer or authority in that country as the Central Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, specify, in this behalf.

passed in the event of non-appearance of the defendant without providing an opportunity of hearing to him caused prejudice to defendant and it is against the principles of natural justice. When seeking remedy against an ex parte decree the Court before exercising its discretion should satisfied that summons were not proved to be served duly. ii.
If the applicant refuses to accept the notice and pleads for setting aside the ex parte decree on the ground of absence of notice cannot be entertained. However, if the defendant did not accept summons bona fide on the grounds of misdescription, even though the service is held to be good, the ex parte decree passed as a result can be set aside. iii.
Mere non-service of summons is not a ground in itself to set aside an ex parte decree on the grounds of fraud but fraudulent suppression of summons is. In A.C. Ananthaswamy v. Boriah there was a bare allegation of fraud. Moreover, no allegation of fraud was made in the two proceedings prior to this appeal. The question before the Court was whether non –service of summons amount to fraud. The court said a suit for setting aside an ex parte decree on mere non-service of summons is not maintainable. If the Court rejects the defendant application for setting aside the decree under Order IX Rule 13 on the grounds of fraud in case of non-service of summons upon him subsequent regular suit for setting aside on the same fraud is barred due to application of res judicata. 4.5 Difference between Summons and Warrant58 • A warrant is an official authorization which gives the power for law enforcement officials to engage in an activity. • A warrant can be an arrest of a suspected individual, searching of premises or else bringing an individual to court. • A summons, on the other hand, is also an official request made by a court for an individual to be present on a specific date and time to inquire after charges that have been made.

Historically, in old English law, a summons was called an auxilium curiae, although this term is now obsolete.61 In England and Wales, the term writ of summons for the originating document in civil proceedings has been replaced with the term claim form by the Civil Procedure Rules,1999 (CPR). This is part of the reforms to simplify legal terminology. However, despite its name, the claim form does not present the details of the claim itself (in other words, it does not replace the complaint). The complaint is now known as the particulars of claim.62 In criminal matters, either a requisition, summons or warrant is issued to initiate criminal proceedings. A summons issued by the Leicester Magistrates' Court against Russell Finlay for a charge of common assault by beating. Signed by District Judge (Magistrates' Courts) Sally Fudge. This is a summons for a private prosecution.
United States In most U.S. jurisdictions, the service of a summons is in most cases required for the court to have jurisdiction over the party who is being summoned.63 The process by which a summons is served is called service of process. The form and content of service in the federal courts is governed by Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the rules of many state courts are similar. The federal summons is usually issued by the clerk of the court. In many states the summons may be issued by an attorney, but some states use filing as the means to commence an action and in those states the attorney must first file the summons in duplicate before it becomes effective; one or more copies are stamped by the court clerk with the court seal and returned to the attorney, who then uses it to actually serve the defendants.
