Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the order of the High Court confirming the Additional Sessions Judge's decision to take cognizance against Kanwar Sarvesh Kumar Singh Chauhan under Section 319 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The Court found that the statement of the witness, Dharam Pal Singh, provided sufficient grounds for the involvement of the accused in the firing incident that resulted in a death. The Court emphasized that prima facie evidence is sufficient for cognizance under Section 319, thereby affirming the lower court's decision.
