ORAL ORDER
2 08-09-2016 Learned counsel, appearing on behalf of the petitioner, is in possession of the case diary of Falka (Pothia) P.S. Case No. 133 of 2016 and he has attempted to make submission on the basis thereof.
This is suggestive of the fact that the petitioner has illegally obtained the case diary, which is a confidential document and part of ongoing investigation; it can, therefore, easily inferred that the petitioner is trying to influence the investigation and causing interference in the said process. On this ground alone, I refuse to exercise my
