A.Dear client,
In situations where the police sends a notice under Section 160 of the Code, the police should explicitly explain the contents of the F.I.R/Case No.
Please make sure whether the police have given you the FIR. If they have, then non-compliance with summons issued pursuant to Section 160 of the Criminal Procedure Code is a crime punishable under Section 174 of the Indian Penal Code and you might be penalised.
Section 174 deals with Not obeying a legal order to attend at a certain place in person or by agent, or departing therefore without authority. It is punishable with simple imprisonment for 1 month or with fine of 500 Rs or both
