The Supreme Court reiterated that the power of a Trial Court under Section 319 of the Criminal Procedure Code to proceed against other persons appearing to be guilty of offence is a discretionary and extra-ordinary power which has to be exercised sparingly.
In this case, the Trial Court, allowed one such application filed by the de-facto complainant and summoned a person. As he did not appear, the court issued Non-Bailable warrant and a Notice under Section 446 Cr.P.C. requiring them to explain why the amount of sureties should not be realised from two sureties. Challenging the summoning order, these persons approached the High Court. The High Court noticing a subsequent order by which notice has been issued under Section 446 Cr.P.C, dismissed the revision petition observing that there is concealment of not placing the order on record.
