The application of the petitioner regarding provision of the copy of hard disk was well within the domain of law and it is covered by section 265-C Cr.P.C., which was allowed by the learned Trial Court but thereafter its exclusion from evidence, on failure to make its copies by a person, who was hardly relevant to the case, was uncalled for and was having without lawful authority, hence, the same is not sustainable. Resultantly, the instant revision petition is hereby allowed, impugned is hereby set-aside and the learned Trial Court is directed to get prepared sufficient copies of the document/hard disk in question, equal to the number of the accused persons from any reliable laboratory of the police department and if it is not possible, from the Punjab Forensic Science Agency (PFSA).
