Bagli. An application making such prayer was moved by the petitioner on 30th November 1995 before the trial Court. The trial Court rejected that application by holding that the machinery required for preparing the copies of said audio-video cassettes is not available in the Court. 3. During the course of argument Shri Desai submitted that for the purpose of over-coming the difficulty which has been expressed by the Court, the Government would be asking the Special Squad functioning at Bhopal to come to Bagli and prepare copies of audio-video cassettes, in the interest of justice. 4.

It is true that no Court has been provided with the facility or instruments by which it can hear the statements recorded in audio-video cassettes. The society progressed and has modem amenities and facilities available. The State Government should have made arrangements to provide the Courts and prosecuting agency with such facilities and amenities for the purpose of keeping pace with the society which is progressing. Unfortunately that has not been done till today and, therefore, this difficulty has arisen which prevented the trial Court from giving copies of aucjio-video cassettes which are the cassettes of alleged public address of the petitioner which is the subject-matter of prosecution which she is facing.
