MURALI vs THE INSPECTOR OF POLICE — 698/2026

Summary The Additional District and Sessions Judge at Vellore allowed the accused's petition to reopen the defence witness stage and summon case diary records from related cases, holding that relevant official records may be essential for a just decision despite the case reaching the argument stage. The court reasoned that mere delay cannot be grounds for rejection if the documents sought are official records directly relevant to the defence's alibi that the accused was on special team duty elsewhere during the custodial death incident in question.
