Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the application under Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which allows for summoning additional accused in ongoing trials. The Court held that the High Court's decision to uphold the trial court's order, which summoned one accused while dismissing the application for seven others, was justified based on the evidence presented. The Court emphasized that the prosecution must establish a prima facie case against additional accused for them to be summoned, affirming the lower courts' decisions in this regard.
