Issues: Impugning summons under Section 108 of the Customs Act, 1962
The judgment pertains to a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India challenging the issuance of a summons dated 19.03.2016 under Section 108 of the Customs Act, 1962. The petitioner was required to appear before the Senior Intelligence Officer, DRI, DZU, New Delhi on 21.03.2016. The summons lacked essential particulars regarding the inquiry or investigation for which the petitioner was summoned, and it did not mention any case registered against the petitioner or provide reasons for the summons.
