📜 Supreme Court on Summoning Additional Accused (Section 319 Cr.P.C.)
The Supreme Court (April 1) reaffirmed that a plea to summon an additional accused can be based on pre-trial evidence, including unrebutted examination-in-chief of a witness, without waiting for cross-examination.
✅ Key Takeaway: If a trial court finds prima facie involvement of an accused based on unrebutted testimony, it can summon them under Section 319 Cr.P.C.
📖 Legal Insight: Section 319 empowers courts to summon additional accused even after proceedings have begun, ensuring all offenders are brought to justice.
