Hardeep Singh And Others vs State Of Punjab And Others on 9 December, 2013
After going through the records, we find no material against
these appellants. Insofar as appellant no. 1, sister-in-law of the
deceased is concerned, she had already been married at the time of
marriage of the deceased with her brother. Learned counsel for the
respondent/complainant was not denying the aforesaid fact. In these
circumstances, the question of participation of sister-in-law
(appellant no.1) is doubtful. Similarly, insofar as appellant no. 2
& 3 (brothers-in-law) are concerned, we do not find any cogent
material to proceed against them. It may be worth to note that when
the charge sheet was filed, these appellants were not named. It is
a well settled principle laid down by a Constitution Bench of this
Court in Hardeep Singh vs. State of Punjab & Ors. (2013) 3 SCC 92,
that in an application under Section 319 Cr.P.C., more than prima
facie case has to be established for summoning of such person
during trial who had not been made accused at the time of filing of
3
the charge sheet. That ingredient is lacking in this case.
