Dear Sirs,
A case has been filed under IPC section 323, 427,34 and the accused is under plea. Can the investigation officer produce new evidences to the court which he has not submitted along with the charge sheet.
Also please give reference of any such case of past.
Thanks and regards

If the IO is introducing new evidence which is irrelevant to the subject matter then it can be challenged properly

The IO can produce additional evidence after submitting charge sheet under section 173(8) cr.p.c with permission from court for further investigation.

Yes, it could only be with the permission of the Court.
