Summoning is a measure for judicial organs to inform litigants to appear in court at a specified time and place. According to the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the time limit for summoning is 12 hours. If the circumstances are particularly serious and complicated, the maximum time for summoning shall not exceed 24 hours. At the same time, in order to protect human rights, criminal suspects should not be detained in disguise in the form of multiple summonses. At the same time, the interval between two summonses should be 12 hours, and the suspect should be given necessary rest time and guaranteed diet. The object of criminal summons is a criminal suspect who does not need to be arrested or detained. Interrogation transcripts must be used after summoning, and interrogation transcripts cannot be used. Criminal summons cannot be applied to witnesses or those who are not clear criminal suspects. Criminal summoning cannot be carried out in different places. However, the city and county where the criminal suspect is located refers to his domicile and habitual residence.
Legal basis:
The duration of summoning in the second paragraph of Article 119th of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) shall not exceed 12 hours; If the case is particularly serious and complicated and detention or arrest measures are needed, the time limit for summoning or compulsory summoning shall not exceed 24 hours.
Derivative problem:
Do family members have visitation rights during the summons?
During criminal detention, the family members of the criminal suspect shall not meet with the criminal suspect. If you want to know about the criminal suspect, you can entrust a lawyer to provide legal help. Only lawyers can meet the criminal suspect, understand the charges charged by the criminal suspect, consult the case file, obtain favorable evidence and ask the criminal suspect about the case.
