Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision rejecting the petitioners' application for documents related to scientific tests under Section 233 and Section 91 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Court found that the petitioners failed to demonstrate the necessity of these reports for their defense, and the High Court deemed the application as vexatious, aimed at delaying the trial proceedings. The Court emphasized that the right to a fair trial does not extend to allowing frivolous applications that hinder judicial efficiency.
