Legal analysis: According to the relevant laws and regulations of our country, the evidence of criminal public prosecution cases is provided by the public prosecutor, and the evidence of private prosecution cases is provided by the private prosecutor, so it is impossible to apply to the court for evidence.

Legal basis: Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC).

Article 51 The burden of proof that the defendant is guilty in a public prosecution case shall be borne by the people's procuratorate, and the burden of proof that the defendant is guilty in a private prosecution case shall be borne by the private prosecutor.

Article 52 Judges, prosecutors and investigators must, in accordance with legal procedures, collect all kinds of evidence that can prove the guilt or innocence of criminal suspects and defendants and the seriousness of crimes. It is strictly forbidden to extort confessions by torture and collect evidence by threats, enticements, deception or other illegal methods, and no one may be forced to prove his guilt. It is necessary to ensure that all citizens who are related to or know the case have the conditions to provide evidence objectively and fully, and they can be hired to assist in the investigation except in special circumstances.
