A special CBI court has granted partial permission for Indrani Mukerjea's request to obtain specific documents that were collected during the Sheena Bora murder case investigation. These documents were initially not relied upon by the prosecution.

Judge J P Darekar stated that there was no legal barrier against producing and sharing forensic reports and flight data with the defense. The documents are considered non-confidential, and their release is in the interest of justice.

However, the court rejected the request to access the police case diary, affirming that defendants cannot view such records. Mukerjea's legal team argues the documents are vital for cross-examination and establishing a proper defense.
