Re: section 420
Strictly speaking, an accused has no right to agitate before he is summoned by a Court. However, by case law, an exception is made to assist the Court on the point of law only. Further, as regards an order u/s.156(3) there are several case laws as to when such order can be made and when such order can not be made.
