• From what I know, The Case of Secret in the Ashes was aired on Nov 12 & 19, 2004 while the 111 minute case was aired on Sunday Nov 7, 2004. This means that the sequence in your list should be reversed: Secret in the Ashes should be listed immediately after The Inheritance.

First some new case titles/info I found:

• THE CASE OF THE UNKNOWN ATTACKER (2002 - most likely late Sep).

A woman comes to the CID Bureau and tells the ACP that her father has been receiving mysterious letters which he immediately burns. She managed to get her hands on a single half-burnt piece of paper and gives it to the ACP. The paper had the word "Kill" and the team thinks that somebody maybe threatening the father. Daya and Abhijeet are sent to talk to him and he (after some initial denial) confesses about the threatening letters. He hires a security agency for protection. Later one of his cigarettes explodes into flames - somebody had replaced his cigarettes coated with a flammable chemical. Only one of the cigarettes was not coated with the chemical and this one had a piece of paper, again with a threatening message. He still refuses police protection and prefers the security agency. At one point he receives another message from his daughter's cell phone. Their accountant also comes under suspicion after a while. CAN'T RECOLLECT ANYTHING LIKE THIS

• CASE OF THE BOMB SCARE (2002 - most likely late Sep). THE CASE TITLE SEEMS TO MATCH THIS DESCRIPTION "A man is found dead with his hands and face blown off. Result of a bomb... CID realises that it was personal bomb and not meant to spread scare in the city. But who was this guy and what was he doing with the bomb? CID finds the blast happened outside an actress's house. She was under a threat by her producer. May be the bomb was meant for the actress. The CID looks for the producer but he is absconding. Nowhere to be found but is he the real culprit? "
  
• CASE OF THE PREDICTIONS (2003 - most likely late Jan or early Feb) Preview if possible?
  
• THE CASE OF THE MISSING GIRL (2004 - most likely around late Jan) Can you give a preview, was Asha there?
  

Next, I found some episode previews but no titles:

• Sep 26, 2003

A dead body is found near a lake by the CID team and the only clue they discover to trap the murderer is a strand of hair at the murder site. The victim was a property dealer who was on the verge of finalizing a mega deal. Who killed him and why? Yeah I rememeber this was about JOLIVE OIL (no the real name), Part I. From the list of cases posted by bentagoa, this seemed like the right name THE CASE OF THEFT AND MURDER but can't be sure. There was a murder and a robbery in that case.

• Oct 3, 2003

The CID team has set out to unearth the murderer based on the special oil found on their only piece of evidence'the single strand of hair. This hair oil is available only at one particular hair salon. Will the CID be able to catch the murderer? Watch the nail bitting suspense in this exciting episode of CID. JOLIVE OIL (not the real name) Part II

• Dec 3, 2004 (this is Part 2 of the case)
  

The cops now know that the cause of death is poisonous gas, which was transmitted by a miniscule capsule. The cops know that this capsule was used by the mysterious woman at the theatre. But they are surprised when they trace this capsule to a watchman at the bar - where Reshma used to work. When they confront him - he threatens suicide and holds up a similar gas filled capsule. He points it at the cops and bursts it. He dies - but the cops manage to find out his next step' another murder. The cops go to stop this murder and in the process crack a bigger mystery. THE CASE OF THE TICKET WINDOW, something is wrong with the date. In MURDERS AT SUNRISE Part II, ACP speaks to Ajatshatru and says he will get his desired Forensic expert before his first case on Monday. CID SB started on 27 Dec 2004. By that logic my schedule seems right. THE CASE OF SECRET IN THE ASHES and THE CASE OF THE TICKET WINDOW had a continuing story about Aditi's Sister Reshma. Can you please share the source for this preview.

Also, I found some dates of 2004 cases (and one 2003 case) which may be of some help:

• HOWZZAT? Part 1: Oct 24, 2003. Yes, Kapil Dev's Ep was aired on 24th and 31st
  
• THE CASE OF THE DEADLY PROPOSAL Part 2: Mar 26, 2004 Not II but part I was aired on that day
  
• ACP IN THE GAME OF DEATH Part 1: May 21, 2004 Right
  
• THE 15 YEAR OLD CASE Part 1: Jun 4, 2004 Right
  
• THE FACELESS KILLER Part 1: Jul 30, 2004 Right
  
• THE FACELESS KILLER Part 2: Aug 6, 2004 Right
  
• THE HAUNTED BUILDING Part 2: Sep 24, 2004 Haunted Building ended on 17 Sept 2004
  

Finally, I looked into the issue of the change of timing from Wed to Fri and from what I can see, I believe the change happened in Jan 2001. It's a 100% certainty but fairly close. I am reasonably certain though, that there was never a Thursday timing.

Some tiny mistakes I found in your list:

• From what I know, The Case of Secret in the Ashes was aired on Nov 12 & 19, 2004 while the 111 minute case was aired on Sunday Nov 7, 2004. This means that the sequence in your list should be reversed: Secret in the Ashes should be listed immediately after The Inheritance. THE INHERITANCE was shown on a Sunday which fell between THE CASE OF SECRET IN THE ASHES Part 1 and Part 2
• The 2005 case numbering has a small mistake: Murder by Marriage and Poison in the Nail are case numbers 23 and 24 instead of 24 and 25 respectively. Corrected
  

These must be the re-runs. CID was never a biweekly.

Now a little question. Back during era of the half-hour episodes, Part 1 of a case would always end with the words "Concluding part next week" I was recently watching some 2004 cases and I saw a few where Part 1 ended with "Concluding part tomorrow". 😕 That doesn't make any sense. What was this, a simple mistake? But it's not just a matter of one or two cases either and one would expect a mistake like that to be corrected immediately.

These are cases I watched with this "error":

• The Case of the Comatose Victim
• The Case of the Suicide that was Murder
• The Faceless Killer
• Abhijeet in Danger
• The Haunted Building
• The Unknown Conspiracy

So what happened there?

This is a snapshot of the SETIndia site from 2002. On the main page you can see a link called "Missed CID - Catch up right here". If you click on it, you will be taken to the episode synopsis (it's spread across 5 pages but only pages 1-4 are available in the archive).
