Rs 3,600-crore VVIP chopper scandal: CBI moves HC against order allowing accused access to papers it didn’t ‘rely upon’

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has moved the Delhi High Court challenging orders passed by a special CBI Court, which permitted those formally charged in the Rs 3,600-crore VVIP chopper scandal to inspect documents not relied upon by the agency.

The agency has submitted that the special CBI Judge allowed the accused to conduct inspection of the “unrelied documents and statements of the witnesses in the Malkhana of the agency or some other place, while also mechanically allowing the supply of unrelied documents to a co-accused at a pre-trial stage.”
