ORDER

This application under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. has been filed against the rejection of the objection raised by applicant with regard to the admissibility of certified copy of Articles A-5 and A-6 which were exhibited in spite of his objection.

2. It is submitted by counsel for applicant that Articles A-5 and A-6 were not filed along with charge-sheet and they were also not mentioned in the list of documents.

It is submitted that this witness had brought the certified copy of the record and had not brought the original copy of the record and, therefore, certified copy of Articles A-5 and A-6 could not have been exhibited. It is further submitted that as per the provisions of Section 294 of Cr.P.C., the applicant was entitled for an opportunity to challenge the genuineness of the documents.

3. Per contra, the application is vehemently opposed by counsel for State as well as the complainant. However, it was fairly conceded by counsel for complainant that provisions of Section 294 of Cr.P.C. were not followed be
