Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the application under Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, requires sufficient evidence to justify the addition of new accused. The Court found that the High Court's dismissal of the appellants' revision petition was justified as there were materials against them, despite the appellants' claims of an abuse of process. The Court upheld the decision of the Additional Sessions Judge, allowing the trial to proceed against the appellants based on the evidence presented.
