The petition was considered by the single bench of Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas.
In the order allowing the Crime Branch's plea, the court dictated, "Prosecution to immediately, within two days from the date of receipt of the judgment forward the document to the State Forensic Science Laboratory through the mode envisaged by law. State Forensic Science Lab to analyse the document as requested and submit a report to the Investigating Officer with the copy to the court in a sealed cover within 7 days. The timeline specified must be adhered to, without any delay in the further investigation and trial of the case."
The forensic examination was sought by the Crime Branch to confirm the illegal access of the memory card as a change was noted in its hash value, suggesting that the file has been tampered with.
