Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's revision against the Special Judge's order summoning him under Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Court emphasized that Section 319 allows for summoning additional accused if evidence suggests their involvement in the crime. The Court found that the evidence presented warranted the summoning of the appellant and others, affirming the lower court's decision.
