It is submitted by the IO/SI Dinesh Kumar that he intends to file the CDRs and CAF with the supplementary chargesheet. But the supplementary chargesheet would pertain to other accused persons while against the present accused/applicant, chargesheet has already been filed. Learned APP submits that the IO has applied for certified copies of CDRs and CAF but the same are awaited. But on being called upon to at least show the letter written by the IO to the concerned authorities for supply of CDRs and/or CAF, the IO states that he cannot show any such letter, though he has shown me the Case Diary dated 07.09.2024, which records that he sent the requisition letter to the DCP concerned. Thereafter, there is no material as to what happened to that letter.
