¤ IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 1041 OF 2013 (arising out of S.L.P. (Criminal) No. 3150 of 2011) PRADEEP KUMAR DIXIT Appellant(s) VERSUS STATE OF U.P. Respondent(s) O R D E R Leave granted. 2. It is not necessary to narrate the facts. Suffice it to say that Shiv Ram, Vijay Singh and Mohar Singh - the three accused - were tried for offence under Section 216A of the Indian Penal Code. On the basis of the evidence that had come on record in the course of trial of the above three accused, the trial court summoned the appellant under Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short, 'Cr.P.C.') for being tried with the above three accused. The fact of the matter is that on conclusion of the evidence and trial, the three accused have already been acquitted. In these circumstances, when the appellant approached the High Court for quashing the summons issued to him under Section 319 Cr.P.C., the summons deserved to be quashed. However, the High Court failed to exercise the jurisdiction vested in it and in a very slip-shod manner dismissed the appellant's application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. The present appeal, by special leave, arises from that order. 3. We are satisfied that for what we have noted above, the present appellant can not be tried pursuant to the summons issued to him under Section 319 Cr.P.C. 4. Appeal is, accordingly, allowed. The impugned order is set aside. The summons issued to the appellant under Section 319 Cr.P.C. shall be treated as quashed. .........................J. ( R.M.
