Cyber Desk · Insight. Series: Digital disputes, as Indian courts actually see them.
Further investigation after charge sheet still needs a lawful paper trail.
Mid-trial, a new phone dump appears. Useful, dramatic, late. Further investigation is not a licence to drop exhibits through the side door. Who ordered it, under what provision, what was seized, how the hash and custody moved, and when the accused got notice — that paper still has to exist. A late dump without discipline becomes a fairness fight before it becomes a truth fight.
New dump mid-trial.
Lawful trail first — then the bytes.
