The accused does not have any locus standi, before he gets summon from the court.

Yes before the issuance of process the accused person has no locus standi in the case.

There can not be any grievance to accused before he is summoned in the case even by any stretch of imagination that is why accused does not have any locus standi before summons.

Simply, accused becomes a party to tne case only after he is summoned

Accused has no right in the proceedings before cognizance is taken in a criminal complaint (Pvt )& he is ordered to be summoned.He cannot file application for summoning witnesses nor can he take part in the pre-cognizance stage of the complaint.

thanks all but what if the complainant closed his pre summoning evidence malafidely afraid of the fact that the remaining evidence being govt record can adversely effect his complaint.
