This application coming on for admission this day, the court passed
the following:
ORDER
This application under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. has been filed seeking the following reliefs:-
2. It is submitted by counsel for applicant that he had filed an application under Section 208 of Cr.P.C. for supply of legible and type copy of the medical documents but by the impugned order, the trial Court has rejected the same.
3. By relying on the order passed by Supreme Court in the case of Randeep Singh Surjewala Vs. State of U.P. & Anr. , decided on 17.04.2023 passed in Special Leave to Appeal (Crl.) No(s). 4791/2023 , it is submitted by counsel for petitioner that in all fairness legible copy of the charge-sheet must be supplied to the case.
4. Considered the submissions made by counsel for applicant.
5. From the order-sheets it is clear that the case was fixed for arguments on the question of framing of charge and at that time the applicant filed an application under Section 208 of Cr.P.C. for supply of legible and type copy of the medical documents.
6. Applicant has filed I.A. No. 11467/2024 and placed those documents on record for which the applicant wanted the typed copy.
7. This Court has gone through the certified copy of documents filed along with the charge-sheet and they are legible and easily readable and anyone can understand the same without any extra efforts.
8. The Supreme Court in the case of Randeep Singh Surjewala (supra) had directed for supply of legible copy of the charge-sheet.
9. The documents which have been supplied to the applicant by the Police Authorities are legible and, therefore, it appears that the application under Section 208 of Cr.P.C. was filed with solitary intention to avoid the hearing on the question of framing of charge.
10. Accordingly, the application fails and is hereby rejected . (G.S. AHLUWALIA) JUDGE AL
