Section 37. Issue of warrant in lieu of or in addition to summons.

A Kadi's Court may in any case in which it is empowered to issue a summons for the appearance of any person issue, after recording its reason in writing, a warrant for his arrest-

(a) if either before the issue of summons or after the issue of the same but before the time fixed for his appearance the Court sees reason to believe that he has absconded or will not obey the summons; or

(b) if at such time he fails to appear and the summons is proved to have been duly served in time to admit of his appearing in accordance therewith and no reasonable excuse is offered for such failure.
