The CBI court in this jurisdiction has rejected Kalyani Singh's request for additional documents in the Sukhmanpreet Singh, also known as Sippy Sidhu, murder case.

On April 3, Kalyani Singh submitted an application under Section 207 of the Criminal Procedure Code, seeking the provision of witness statements and other investigation records in accordance with a Supreme Court directive issued on February 26. Additionally, the application requested the supply of a CD, which, upon inspection, was discovered to be blank. It was highlighted in the application that the records mentioned under Serial No. 6(a) and 6(b) had not been furnished to her.

On September 20, 2015, Sippy Sidhu, an advocate, met a tragic demise when he was fatally shot in Chandigarh Sector 27.

The CBI, represented by public prosecutor Narender Singh, responded to an application opposing it, stating that all necessary documents had already been provided to the accused in accordance with the order of the Supreme Court.

The CBI emphasized that all articles and documents provided to the accused had been previously supplied to the complainant. Furthermore, the agency clarified that the specific records now being requested were never provided even to the complainant. Referring to a previous instance where a similar request for records was made before the Special Judicial Magistrate, the CBI noted that the accused's application was dismissed.

It was asserted that the accused does have the right to request the production of any document or article during trial under Section 91 of the Criminal Procedure Code, should such items become relevant for her defense. Regarding the blank CD, it was explained that a fresh copy had been supplied on a pen drive.

Following the presentations of arguments, Special Judge Jagjit Singh of the CBI Court dismissed the application submitted by the accused. The court asserted that all necessary materials had already been provided to the accused in accordance with the Supreme Court's directive. It further observed that the accused's application appeared to be a tactic aimed at prolonging the legal proceedings, rather than a genuine necessity for additional information or documents.
