🚨 Legal Update | Supreme Court on Section 319 CrPC

In the landmark case of Harjinder Singh v. State of Punjab, the Hon’ble Supreme Court clarified a crucial aspect of criminal procedure: to summon an additional accused under Section 319 CrPC, only prima facie evidence is required — it's not necessary to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at the summoning stage.

The bench of Justices Vikram Nath and K.V. Viswanathan emphasized that even if an accused pleads alibi, such defence must be tested during the trial, not while deciding on summoning.

The Court also criticized the High Court for wrongly quashing the trial court’s summoning order based on unproven alibi materials like CCTV footage and receipts.
