Hi, A summon is a court order to an individual to appear in court at a specified time and place thus police cannot issue a summon. A police officer investigating an offense under Section 161, Cr. P. C. can question orally any person presumed to be familiar with the facts and circumstances of the case, and it is required for him to reduce the statement into writing, despite the fact that he cannot due to Section*Phone*Of course, any person might be summoned to the police station if there is a relationship between him/her and a crime committed by him/her or supervised by him/her. He can be summoned to the police station and interrogated, but only in the case of a primary inquiry and cannot be arrested. If you find this answer helpful please rate my answer. Thank You.
