Order on Exhibit

Summary The accused's application under Section 91 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking production of CCTV footage was rejected. The court held that since the application was filed at the pre-charge stage and the CCTV footage is essential for the accused's defense (which is irrelevant before framing of charge), the application was premature and not maintainable. The court cited settled law that an accused's entitlement to seek production orders ordinarily arises only at the defense stage, not before charge is framed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
