Summary/Abstract: This article provides theoretical and practical explanations regarding the provisions of article 353 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which regulates several procedures closely related to the process of summoning to court, namely: remedying the illegality that occurred in the summoning procedure, acknowledgment of the hearing date, and the request for trial in absentia. The clerk must know and understand the legal provisions regarding summons and must file all due diligence to correctly carry out the procedure and any other formalities ordered by the court in order to ensure the presence of the parties and other procedural subjects at the court hearings. Errors in carrying out the procedure, generally, lead to the postponement of cases and extend their resolution time, which in turn causes dissatisfaction among litigants.
