    Summary The court allowed accused K. Murali's petition under Section 91 CrPC to obtain the case diary in Crime No.208/2015, finding that the documents are necessary for a just decision despite being sought at the arguments stage. The court reasoned that while parties typically present evidence during trial, the wide powers under Section 91 CrPC can be exercised at any stage if documents are essential to truth-discovery, and denying access to official records not in the accused's custody would prejudice his defence that he was on special duty elsewhere during the alleged custodial death period.
