Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the application of Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, which allows for the addition of new accused based on emerging evidence. The Court held that the High Court's dismissal of the appellants' revision petition was justified as there were sufficient materials against them, including their presence during the incident as testified by witnesses. The Court emphasized that the parameters for invoking Section 319 must be carefully considered, and in this case, the trial court's decision to allow the addition of the appellants as accused was upheld.
