Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's revision application, affirming the Special Court's order under Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, to summon the appellant as an accused in a forgery case. The Court clarified that the power under Section 319 Cr.P.C. can be exercised when there is prima facie material indicating grave suspicion against the accused. The appellant's claim for protection under Section 132 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 was rejected as the summoning was based on trial evidence, not pre-summoning statements.
