    INTRODUCTION

    The term “summons cases” has been defined, in a negative sense, under Section 2(w) of the
    CrPC as “a case relating to an offence, not being a warrant case”. On the other hand, a
    “warrant case” means a case relating to an offence punishable with death, imprisonment for
    life or imprisonment for a term exceeding two years1.

    The two definitions, thus, lead to the conclusion that the basis of classification between
    summons case and warrant cases is the seriousness of the offence. This classification
    becomes applicable while determining the type of trial procedure to be adopted in a case. The
    trial procedure provided for summons cases is devoid of much formality and technicality as
    in warrant cases since the former is relatively less serious in nature. Chapter XX (Ss. 251-
    259) of the Criminal Procedure Code delineates the procedure for trial of summons cases.
