If a warrant is issued without legal grounds where a summons should have been used, it can cause unnecessary arrest and harassment, but that order can be attacked as illegal or disproportionate before the issuing court and, if needed, higher courts. Best lawyers normally (1) obtain the FIR/complaint and all process orders, (2) show that summons were not properly tried or that no reasons were recorded for choosing a warrant, (3) move the trial court to recall/cancel the warrant under Section 70(2) CrPC with voluntary appearance/surrender and a bail request, and (4) if refused, approach the Sessions Court or High Court to quash or modify the warrant under revisional or inherent powers, while ensuring the accused strictly obeys all future dates so the record clearly supports any claim of unlawful detention or harassment.
