Difference: Forcible summons and summons are two different litigation behaviors. Compulsory summons is one of the legal criminal compulsory measures, which has certain compulsion. Summon is notification, not coercion, which is the fundamental difference between the two.

Summon: It is a measure for judicial organs to inform litigants to appear in court at a designated time and place.

Compulsory summons: refers to a criminal compulsory measure that the investigation organ forces the criminal suspect who is not in custody to come to the case for interrogation. It is usually used for criminal suspects who refuse to appear after legal summons. Under special circumstances, you can summon directly without summoning.

Compulsory summons is one of the lightest compulsory measures in China's criminal procedure system, and public security organs, people's procuratorates and people's courts have the right to decide its application in the course of criminal proceedings.

According to the provisions of Article 117 of China's Criminal Procedure Law, "a criminal suspect who does not need to be arrested or detained may be summoned to a designated place or residence or unit for interrogation, but the documents of the people's procuratorate or the public security organ shall be produced." The purpose of summoning is to ensure that criminal proceedings are carried out in a planned way and cases are handled in time.
