They also tried to attack him with sickles and sticks.<\/li>\n<li>Though in the FIR, Complainant had mentioned that 15 women and 35 men came by vehicles but the names of 11 persons alone were disclosed in the FIR.<\/li>\n<li>He then filed an application under Section 319 of the Code to summon the 20 accused persons named in the application as additional accused.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Ruling:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court noticed that the present case was basically a matrimonial dispute wherein, the husband who is the Complainant has levelled allegations against the wife and her other family members. In the statements recorded under Section 161 of the Code during the course of investigation, the Complainant and his witnesses have not disclosed any other name except the 11 persons named in the FIR. Thus, the Court said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cthe Complainant has sought to cast net wide so as to include numerous other persons while moving an application under Section 319 of the Code without there being primary evidence about their role in house trespass or of threatening the Complainant. Large number of people will not come to the house of the Complainant and would return without causing any injury as they were said to be armed with weapons like crowbar, knife and ripper etc.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court also noted that the allegations in the FIR were vague and could be used any time to include any person in the absence of description in the First Information Report to identify such person. Stating that the additional accused cannot be summoned under Section 319 of the Code in casual and cavalier manner in the absence of strong and cogent evidence, the Court said:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cUnder Section 319 of the Code additional accused can be summoned only if there is more than prima facie case as is required at the time of framing of charge but which is less than the satisfaction required at the time of conclusion of the trial convicting the accused.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[Periyasami v.
