What is this about?
The High Court set aside an order summoning the petitioner as an additional accused under Section 319 Cr.P.C. without expression of opinion on merits. The court held the order untenable because the trial court failed to give the accused an opportunity to cross-examine the witness whose statement was the basis for the summons.
