Vikas Chandra vs The State Of Uttar Pradesh

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the summons issued under Section 306 IPC by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, as it improperly exercised its power under Section 482 of the Cr.PC. The Court emphasized that the High Court should not interfere with the trial court's summons unless there is a clear abuse of process or lack of jurisdiction. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the summons against respondent No.2 for abetment of suicide, as the allegations warranted further inquiry.
