💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court ruled that a person not named in the chargesheet as an accused does not have the right to be heard by a trial court before being summoned for a criminal trial. However, if the high court considers the issue of summoning a person as an accused after a trial court's rejection of such a plea, the proposed accused has a right to hearing.
