Trial and proceedings to be held in electronic mode
AI Assist
Summary
All trials, inquiries and other proceedings under this Sanhita can be conducted in electronic mode. That covers issuing, serving and executing summons and warrant, examining complainant and witnesses, recording evidence, and appellate or other hearings. Electronic communication or audio-video means may be used instead of in-person proceedings.
Example
Priya files a complaint and the magistrate summons the accused. The magistrate examines Priya and two witnesses over a video call and the court records their testimony electronically. Because the law allows electronic mode, those steps count as valid proceedings.
