The MP's Office says, 'We did bring to the notice of the court that only the time was specified in the summons issued, not the date. Upon acknowledging it, An indication was given that fresh summons will be issued. But, We received no summons before the first hearing (Saturday). We will appeal against the warrant by moving the Chief Judicial Magistrate'.
