Summoning is a measure for judicial organs to inform litigants to appear in court at a specified time and place. Summoning is a kind of litigation method used in accordance with the law to make criminal suspects appear for interrogation when interrogating criminal suspects who do not need to be detained during activities. This is a criminal procedure. It is a measure taken by people's procuratorates and public security organs to force criminal suspects who are not in custody to appear in court for trial without justifiable reasons. Such coercive measures include the use of restrictive measures. Because the use of this method to make criminal suspects appear in court involves their personal rights, the detention of criminal suspects must be carried out in strict accordance with the law.
