"5. Mr. S.R. Surana, Senior Advocate assisted by Mr. Anurag Sharma, appearing for the complainant has contended that at the investigation stage the accused has no right to be heard. He has placed reliance on Narendra G. Goel v. State of Maharashtra, (2009) 3 Criminal Court Cases 719 (SC). He has drawn attention towards para 10 of the Judgment. Para 10 of the judgment in Narendra G. Goel v. State of Maharashtra (supra) reads as under:

"10. It is well settled that the accused has no right to be heard at the stage of investigation. The prosecution will however have to prove its case at the trial when the accused will have full opportunity to rebut/question the validity and authenticity of the prosecution case. In Sri Bhagwan Samardha Sreepada Vallabha Venkata Vishwanandha Maharaj v. State of A.P., [(1999) 5 SCC 740] this Court observed, "There is nothing in Section 173(8) to suggest that the court is obliged to hear the accused before any such direction is made. Casting of any such obligation on the court would only result in encumbering the Court with the burden of searching for all the potential accused to be afforded with the opportunity of being heard." The accused can certainly avail himself of an opportunity to cross examine and/or otherwise controvert the authenticity, admissibility or legal significance of material evidence gathered in

course of further investigations. Further in light of the views expressed by the investigating officer in his affidavit before the High Court, it is apparent that the investigating authorities would inevitably have conducted further investigation with the aid of CFS under Section 173(8) of the Code.

6. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and considered the submissions raised by both the parties and have also gone through the judgments cited by the parties. On the basis of the judgments of the Apex Court, I am of the view that this criminal misc. petition should be disposed of with the following directions:

1). As the investigation is complete and the investigating officer may soon file the challan before the trial court. If the challan is filed the petitioner may move an application before the trial court regarding the document which is to be examined from the Central Forensic Laboratory as requested by the petitioner in his petition before this court and the same shall be decided by the trial court and it is the discretion of the trial court to examine the said document from the Central Forensic Laboratory or not to examine the same in the light of the aforesaid judgments of the Apex Court."
