Court Orders ED to Provide Documents in Delhi Excise Case Amid Inspection Ruckus

The Rouse Avenue court has instructed the Enforcement Directorate to supply soft copies of un-relied documents to the defense counsel in the Delhi Excise policy case. The directive comes after complaints about inadequate inspection facilities, prompting the court to seek expedited document access and improved conditions for reviewing materials.

In a significant development, the Rouse Avenue court has directed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to hand over digital copies of un-relied documents to defense lawyers involved in the Delhi Excise policy case. This action aims to address ongoing disputes over document inspection, which have been long overdue for resolution.

Special Judge Kaveri Baweja made it clear that the provision of these documents is the only viable solution, following repeated objections from defense counsel regarding the unsuitable conditions for on-site document review. The matter has been scheduled for further hearing on November 4.

The directive was a response to complaints about the inadequate facilities for inspection, including concerns about safety and hygiene. The decision underscores the court's emphasis on resolving these procedural issues promptly and efficiently, ensuring that fair access to case materials is maintained.
