At the summoning stage, the court does not assess sufficiency for conviction, weigh defence pleas, or conduct a detailed merits review. An order issuing summons is revisable under Section 397 CrPC as an intermediate or quasi-final order, but the revisional court cannot reappreciate the record like an appellate court or quash process by entering into merits at the threshold. The summons order was therefore restored. en-us Tue, 05 Feb 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 18 Jun 2021 08:11:43 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=295751 When cognizance is taken on a police report under Section 190(1)(b) CrPC, the Magistrate need only be satisfied that sufficient grounds exist to proceed and is not required to record detailed reasons while issuing summons.
