Validity of Issuance of summons - The learned Courts below did not consider that at the stage of Section 200 of Cr.

In the present case, it was the duty of respondent no.2 to prove its case against the petitioners and show sufficient evidence on record, however, the respondent no. 1 in the present case did not examine even the panch witnesses to prove its case. Therefore, the Court below has summoned the petitioner without any material on record for prima facie satisfaction. - HC
