Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed whether the appellant could be summoned under Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure after the police filed a negative final report in a case involving allegations of harassment under Section 498A IPC. The Court held that the Judicial Magistrate was justified in taking cognizance against the appellant, emphasizing that the provisions of Sections 468 and 473 Cr.P.C. do not bar such cognizance. The outcome affirmed the High Court's decision to remand the case for fresh consideration regarding the limitation issue.
