Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, emphasizing that the provision allows for the addition of accused persons at any stage of the trial if evidence suggests their involvement in the crime. The Court held that the High Court's decision to allow the application under Section 482 was erroneous, as the evidence presented during the trial indicated a prima facie case against the appellants. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, and the order of the High Court was set aside.
