The accused will have to file a discharge petition before framing of charge with relevant documents. The charge will be argued and if the documents are found reliable then the Magistrate may act accordingly and may discharge the accused person.

You are representing the accused, it is presumed.
At the time of framing of charge the information received through RTI Act, 2005(if it is vital for discharge) must be submitted/readout/produced.

But the court said that the documents received under RTI can only be used at evidence stage only... not at the time of framing of charge.
