RULE. Rule is made returnable forthwith.

2.

Heard finally at the stage of admission by consent of respective parties.

3.

The only relief agitated by the petitioners is to decide their application filed in terms of Section 207 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The petitioners are accused in MPID Case No. 106/2021. It is their grievance that though they have filed application seeking to provide copies of charge-sheet, the said application has not been decided. The learned APP would submit that there is no difficulty in deciding the said application, if not already decided. 4.

Undoubtedly, the accused have every right to get copies of charge-sheet rather it is a mandate of law. The petitioners/accused have already applied to the Trial Court for supplying copies of chargesheet. In view of that, the Trial Court is directed to decide the said application expeditiously in accordance with law. Rest of the contentions raised in the petition are kept open. 5.

Petition stands disposed of in above terms.
