CrPC 208 — Supply of copies of statements and documents to accused in other cases triable by Court of Session

Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973

Statutory text

Where,  in  a  case  instituted  otherwise  than  on  a  police  report,  it  appears  to  the
Magistrate  issuing  process  under  section  204  that  the  offence  is  triable  exclusively  by  the  Court  of
Session, the Magistrate shall without delay furnish to the accused, free of cost, a copy of each of the following:—
(i) the statements recorded under section 200 or section 202, of all persons examined by the
Magistrate;
(ii) the statements and confessions, if any, recorded under section 161 or section 164;
(iii) any  documents  produced  before  the  Magistrate  on  which  the  prosecution  proposes  to
rely:
Provided that if the Magistrate is satisfied that any such document is voluminous, he shall, instead
of  furnishing  the  accused  with  a  copy  thereof,  direct  that  he  will  only  be  allowed  to  inspect  it  either personally or through pleader in Court.
