Rama Chaudhary vs State Of Bihar

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of a criminal revision challenging the summoning of additional witnesses under Section 173(2) and (8) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Court clarified that 'further investigation' does not equate to 're-investigation' against accused already facing trial, emphasizing the importance of bringing forth the best possible evidence to discover the truth. The Court affirmed the trial court's decision to allow the prosecution's application to summon new witnesses, thereby rejecting the appellant's claims of mala fide intent and procedural impropriety.
