I am an accused in a 138 case filed on me in chennai by extorting the cheque through Police station during the previous regime as the complainant is well influenced politically and after the complainant deposition and cross since the complainant could not satisfy the court he brought the police officer as a witness and the fact is the officer had deposed and the matter is remaining for us to cross. As i was not happy with the service of the existing advocate so i am in the process of changing the advocate. Now when i applied for the copies of the deposition by PW2, the officer is refusing to give me the copies saying that only advocates are entitled to get the copies.I represented to the concerned court by filling a petition to direct the officer to issue me the copies, the honourable judge directed me to first cancel the memo of appearance by another advocate and apply through him. Is iam not entitle to get the certify copy as iam the party to the proceedings? can you suggest should i have to seek direction under 482 or should i have to go by filling writ in high court, is law does not permit the party to the proceedings for the certified copies, i want to fight for the right kindly sugges?
