While acknowledging the importance of expeditious pronouncement of reserved judgments, as repeatedly emphasised by the Supreme Court, the Court recorded that the matters demanded greater thought and articulation because of the legal questions involved.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court held that the writ petition seeking permission to inspect unrelied documents in the Malkhana deserved to be allowed. It directed the prosecution to facilitate and ensure inspection of the Malkhana expeditiously and strictly in accordance with law. It also directed the petitioner to cooperate so that the trial proceedings would not be unnecessarily delayed or held up unnecessarily.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">However, the Court dismissed the writ petition related to the supply of deficit documents under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001519457\" target=\"_blank\">207<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726935\" target=\"_blank\">CrPC<\/a> as being without merit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%; font-weight: bold;\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2026\/05\/22\/del-hc-grants-bail-to-salim-malik-in-2020-delhi-riots-conspiracy-case\/\" target=\"_blank\">UAPA | Delhi High Court Grants Bail To Accused Salim Malik in 2020 Delhi Riots Conspiracy Case, Applies Supreme Court&#8217;s Gulfisha Fatima Principles<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Devangana Kalita<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">State (NCT of Delhi)<\/span>, W.P.(CRL) 925\/2025, CRL.M.A.8681\/2025, order dated 5-6-2026<\/span>]<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Advocates who appeared in this case:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\">Mr. Adit S.
