Yes — and obtaining certified copies promptly and systematically is one of the most practically important habits in any criminal case in Nashik. Without certified copies of key orders and judgments, you cannot file an effective appeal or revision, you cannot change lawyers smoothly, and you cannot respond to background verification processes while your case is pending.

Your entitlement to core documents begins at the cognizance stage. Under Section 230 of the BNSS (formerly Section 207 CrPC), once the Magistrate takes cognizance of a police report, you must be supplied — free of charge — with copies of the chargesheet, the FIR, the witness statements recorded during investigation under Section 180 BNSS, and every document the prosecution intends to rely upon at trial. This right is mandatory and foundational — without these documents, your advocate cannot prepare the defence, plan cross-examination, or identify the prosecution's case. If they have not been supplied, bring it to your counsel's attention immediately.

For certified copies of court orders, judgments, deposition records, and other documents generated during the proceedings, the process at Nashik's district court complex runs through the copying section of the relevant court — the CJM court, the relevant Magistrate court, or the Nashik Sessions Court. Your advocate or a court agent files a certified-copy application specifying the document, pays the prescribed court fee, and the copying section issues the certified copy within the applicable timeframe. Certified copies bear the court's seal and are legally authenticable before the Bombay HC at Mumbai, the Supreme Court, or any authority requiring formal court documentation. The right to certified copies of judicial records flows from the general law of evidence now embodied in the BSA. The criminal advocates at the Nashik panel of Aapka Legal Advice can file certified-copy applications and follow up with the copying sections of Nashik's courts so you have every document when the limitation clock is running.

A standing practical instruction: obtain the certified copy of every significant order or judgment as soon as it is passed. Limitation for appeals and revisions runs from the date of the order, and time spent obtaining the certified copy eats into your limitation window.
