Hello,
Single default of ignoring summons is enough to take further action against opponent in criminal case.

If the defendant does not appear for the first and second time, there will be no consequences and the court may issue two or three more summons at least before proceeding to the next step.
If it's a criminal case - when two or four summons are ignored - the court will issue a Non-Bailable Warrant against the defendant which will be sent to the Court Police or Jurisdictional Police Station based on the distance from the defendant’s residence from the court. The defendant may then be arrested - presented before court and will be let off with a warning and payment of something called a recall fee.
If it's a civil case -when ten or fifteen summons are ignored - the court will presume the person to be ex-parte and will continue the case on exparte grounds.
Regards,
Anaita Vas

@Shashi Dhara - Are you suggesting to hire a lawayer to answer a simple question? Why do you assume that it is related to case always? Can't we just to know the rules?

Dear Mr P. Venu. - This is a public/subscriber based forum where any question related to the indian law can be askedby the public. If anyone does not have intelligence to understand the question and the capability or qualification to answer they should refrain from anwering the question. It would be a waste fof time of the both the parties. I am reporting this to the moderators as you are trying to badmouth my profile and sending a wrong message to the readers here

Dear Mr. @Sudhir kumar - I think you do not understand what a "public forum" means. It is not place court to provide nitty gritty details of the case. Sorry no one needs the facts to anwer a simple staright forward generic question that can be applied to any case. If you do not know the answer it is better to stay away from anwering
