12. However, the Ld counsel for the respondents has
argued that even in the above judgment in case of Smt.

Court that for forming an opinion about the summoning of the
accused, the court can take into consideration the inherent,
improbabilities appearing on the face of the complaint or in

M/S. Pepsi Foods Ltd. & Anr vs Special Judicial Magistrate & Ors on 4 November, 1997
Ld counsel for the respondents has rightly referred
to the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Pepsi
Food Ltd Vs. Special Judicial Magistrate (1998) 5 SCC 749,
wherein the following observations were made " summoning of
an accused in a criminal case is a serious matter. Criminal
Law cannot be set into motion as a matter of course. It is
not that the complainant has to bring only two witnesses to
support his allegations in the complaint to have a criminal
law set into motion. The order of the Magistrate summoning
the accused must reflect that he has applied his mind to the
facts of the case and the law applicable thereto. He has to
examine the nature of allegations made in the complaint and
the evidence both oral and documentary in support thereof and
would that be sufficient for the complainant to succeed in
bringing charge home to the accused. It is not that the
Magistrate is a silent spectator at the time or recording of
preliminary evidence before summoning of the accused. The
Magistrate has to carefully scrutinize the evidence brought
on record and may even himself put questions to the
complainant and his witnesses to elicit answers to find out
the truthfulness of the allegations or otherwise and then
examine if any offence is prima facie committed by all or any
of the accused " .
