Section 319 CrPC | Cumulative Evidence Suffices for Summoning Additional Accused; Minor Inconsistencies Not Fatal : SC
The Supreme Court ruled that courts must evaluate the totality of evidence under Section 319 CrPC, not isolated inconsistencies, to summon additional accused. Minor contradictions do not invalidate summoning if the evidence is otherwise strong and cogent, reinforcing judicial discretion in criminal trials.
