5] At the time of receiving chargesheet which is given free of cost to ‘each’ accused by ‘pp’ in court, sometime court asks accused whether they are guilty, normally accused say – not guilty. Check the charge sheet – it is also called ‘Final Report’ – there should be a table showing list of witnesses and documents – many times it is not given, tell court for any discrepancy in it.

Do the accused get - ONLY LIST of witness / a copy of the statements of these witness too ??
Do the accused get - ONLY LIST OF DOCUMENTS / a copy of the actual documents too ??
