Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the summons of the appellants as additional accused under Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, in a case involving serious charges under Sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 448, and 302/149 IPC, as well as Sections 3 and 3(2)(V) of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. The Court held that the trial court's order to summon the appellants was valid as the evidence presented by the complainant warranted their inclusion in the trial. The High Court's dismissal of the appellants' revision petition was upheld, affirming the trial court's decision to proceed with the case against the appellants.
