https://lawtimesjournal.in/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/supreme-court-2-696x364-3.jpg1200628The Supreme Court bench comprising of Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice Sanjiv Khanna observed that "The right to summon document(s), indeed, is available but that has to be exercised when the trial is in progress and not when the trial is completed, including after the statement of accused under Section 313 of Criminal Procedure Code had been recorded. The efficacy of the trial cannot be whittled down by such belated application."
