Supreme Court Allows Accused to Use Unrelied Documents in Criminal Trials
The Supreme Court ruled that accused individuals can inspect documents seized during investigations but not relied upon by the prosecution and may present specific relevant documents before witnesses during trial. This decision clarifies procedural rights in criminal cases, emphasizing that the timing for requesting such documents depends on their relevance. The ruling arose from a case involving alleged fake documents in a consultancy contract for Jharkhand's Central University, with the court directing the CBI to facilitate document inspection and production during trial.
