Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment quashing the prosecution's application under Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, emphasizing that the statement of Prosecution Witness No.3, which implicated Suresh and Sombir in the murder, provided sufficient grounds for summoning Suresh. The Court held that the High Court erred in its decision, as the witness's testimony indicated a clear motive for the crime. The ruling clarifies the application of Section 319 in summoning additional accused based on witness statements.
