In
Mukund Lal v. Union of India, the Supreme Court held that the accused or their counsel cannot requisition the case diary or claim the right to examine it. Case diaries are meant for the use of the court and the police, and not for the accused's defense.
Information Booster: The case diary is a document maintained by the investigating officer, recording the day-to-day progress of the investigation. The purpose of maintaining this diary is to ensure that the investigation is conducted methodically and can be reviewed by the court, but it is not accessible to the accused or their counsel.
