Record in High Court

High Courts may make general rules about how witness testimony and the accused's examination are recorded in cases before them. When such rules exist, the evidence and examination must be taken down according to those rules. This creates a uniform procedure for recording trial testimony in the High Court.

Rohan appeals a conviction to the High Court, which has a rule requiring witness evidence and the accused's examination to be recorded verbatim and with an audio backup. At Rohan's hearing the court takes down the witnesses' statements and his answers exactly as the rule prescribes, so the record follows the High Court's format.
