Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to dismiss the appellant's petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C., challenging the summoning order issued by the Chief Judicial Magistrate. The Court noted that the High Court found no grounds to interfere with the summoning order based on the specific allegations in the complaint. The Court emphasized that the appellant, a retired Chief Engineer, would not abscond and directed that if he surrenders and applies for bail, it should be disposed of expeditiously by the Magistrate.
