CENTRAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION vs R.S. PAI

The Supreme Court addressed whether the prosecution can introduce additional documents after submitting a charge-sheet under Section 173 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Court held that the Investigating Officer must produce all relevant documents at the time of the charge-sheet submission, as per Section 173(5). The rejection of the CBI's application for additional documents was deemed illegal, as the documents were found relevant to connect the accused to the crime, and the Court allowed the appeal, overturning the Special Court's decision.
