BNSS Allows Supply Of Chargesheet & Case Documents To Victims Free Of Cost : Supreme Court Disposes Of Plea


 

The Supreme Court today disposed of a  matter seeking directions to authorities for free supply of chargesheets to complainants/victims and issuance of notice to them at pre-trial stage.

It observed that while the first issue stood resolved in terms of Section 230 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), on the second issue, the Court, under writ jurisdiction, could not direct the legislature to enact law in a particular manner.


Case Title: Vivek Kumar Gaurav v. Union of India
