These were sought during cross-examination of BK Mahapatra, a forensic expert, at the court.

Nupur is an accused in the 2008 murders of daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj.

The documents were sought by the defence lawyers who were cross-questioning Mahapatra on his procedures during the forensic-examinations.

Mahapatra first appeared in the court on July 31. As Mahapatra's cross-examination was conducted only during the pre-lunch session on Wednesday, the CBI had moved an application and requested the court to continue his cross-examination after lunch as well.
