Dear Experts,
Can the police investigating officer refuse to give copies of statements of complainants, witnesses etc. citing reason of pending investigation under RTI?
Are there any orders of the CIC which instruct the police to share the information?
Regards,
Sahil

No you can not have charge-sheet through RTI. It is the statutory duty of IO to submit the charge-sheet only before the trial court.
Police cannot give you such details under RTI. However, you have right to get all this information from court. Court will provide you all this information once challan is sent to court. It takes a long time for all this process. Be patient. You will be allowed to study all the cards of prosecution before you have to utter a single word in your defense.
