world ⚖️ Can accused check evidence before trial? SC holds order
The Supreme Court has reserved its order regarding a Delhi Police challenge against the Delhi High Court's decision for Devangana Kalita to inspect unrelied documents. The bench heard arguments from Additional Solicitor General SV Raju and Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal concerning the inspection timing. Raju argued inspection is only allowed after charges are framed, citing various judgments. Sibal countered, pointing to similar rulings allowing pre-charge inspection, like in the Manish Sisodia case. The Court noted the prosecution's contrasting stance despite prior permissions in other cases. ⚖️
