HARDEI vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the application of Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, affirming the Chief Judicial Magistrate's decision to summon the appellant, Hardei, to face trial for her alleged involvement in embezzlement under Sections 409, 420, 467, 468, and 471 of the IPC. The Court emphasized that the summoning of additional accused is permissible when evidence emerges during the trial indicating their involvement. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the revision petition was dismissed, thereby allowing the trial to proceed against the appellant.
