    Summary The Punjab and Haryana High Court set aside orders summoning five additional accused persons (Surinder Kumar, Raman Kumar, Manohar Lal, Gagan Singh, and Shakti Kumar) to face trial under Section 319 Criminal Procedure Code. The court found that the complainant's testimony and deposition lacked sufficient corroborative evidence and failed to meet the threshold established by Supreme Court precedents—requiring "more than prima facie case" evidence before summoning additional accused. The court emphasized that Section 319 powers must be exercised sparingly with strong, cogent evidence, not merely on witness mentions or casual deposition. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
