Thank you Anil, but honestly speaking I dont understand this sub section (6) of section 173 of the CrPc, and this has been agitating my mind from a long time, but could recollect only this evening. Hope other members can clarified the matter.

During investigation police records statements of persons who have knowledge about the incident, some statements are such that police do not think supportive or of use to place in chargesheet but it keeps in record only.So this papers are not available to accussed as I understood.
