Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of Manjeet Singh challenging the High Court's order which upheld the dismissal of his application under Section 319 of the CrPC for summoning additional accused in a murder case. The court found that the High Court had correctly interpreted the provisions of the CrPC and that there was insufficient evidence to warrant the summoning of the additional accused. Consequently, the appeal was rejected, affirming the lower court's decision.
