Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the application of Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, affirming the trial court's decision to summon the appellant for trial based on the evidence presented during the proceedings. The Court noted that the appellant, although not named in the FIR, was implicated through witness statements indicating her involvement in the embezzlement case under Sections 409 IPC. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the revision was rejected, reinforcing the trial court's authority to summon additional accused when sufficient evidence emerges during the trial.
