01:04 PM, Thursday,26 June 2025



The appeal arises against the High Court order- The respondent-accused had filed an application before the Trial Court for summoning of the call details of the Seizure Officer and some other police officials for the date of seizure. The said application was rejected by the Trial Court, whereby the High Court while allowing the said petition has directed all Courts in the State of Rajasthan that whenever an application is moved to summon the Call-details by the accused during the criminal proceedings; the same shall not be deferred and will be decided forthwith - the accused cannot invoke and would not have the right to invoke Section 91 Cr.P.C. at the stage of framing of charge. [THE HONOURABLE MS. JUSTICE BELA M. TRIVEDI & THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PANKAJ MITHAL, DOD - 12-02-2024, CDJ 2024 SC 513]
