https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=195727 Section 319 CrPC may be invoked after cognizance during inquiry or trial, but not at committal or allied pre-trial administrative stages. "Evidence" for this purpose means evidence recorded before the court; investigation material is only corroborative. The court may act on examination-in-chief without waiting for cross-examination. Summoning an additional accused requires a stronger-than-prima-facie satisfaction: the evidence must be strong and cogent and, if unrebutted, capable of leading to conviction, though conviction need not be inevitable. The provision extends to persons not named in the FIR or not charge-sheeted, while discharged persons can be proceeded against only through the prescribed statutory procedure. en-us Fri, 10 Jan 2014 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 12 Feb 2022 11:48:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=195727 Section 319 CrPC may be invoked after cognizance during inquiry or trial, but not at committal or allied pre-trial administrative stages.
