The Supreme Court dismissed the defendant's appeal regarding the legality of an oral summons in a criminal case. The defendant argued the summons was invalid, but the court noted that the summons documents clearly listed the crime names, dates, and victims, and stated that further investigation records would be provided later. The court ruled that the summons was legally valid because it contained all essential information required for the defendant to prepare a defense, rendering the procedural defect alleged by the defendant non-existent.
