*SUPREME COURT OF INDIA*
CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION
CRIMINAL APPEAL NOS.4718-4719 OF 2024
Sameer Sandhir versus Central Bureau of Investigation
May 23, 2025.
*Held that a bona fide omission by the prosecution to submit relied-upon documents to the magistrate does not prevent it from producing those documents after the charge sheet is filed, regardless of whether they were gathered before or after the investigation.*
*The court said that procedural lapses in submitting evidence can be remedied post-chargesheet, provided there is no prejudice to the accused.*
*“if there is an omission on the part of the prosecution in forwarding the relied upon documents to the learned Magistrate, even after the chargesheet is submitted, the prosecution can be permitted to produce the additional documents which were gathered prior to or subsequent to the investigation.”, the court observed.*
