Judgment in cases tried summarily
AI Assist
Summary
When a case is tried summarily and the accused does not plead guilty, the Magistrate must record the substance of the evidence. The Magistrate must also give a judgment that briefly states the reasons for the finding. This ensures a short written account of why the decision was reached.
Example
Priya takes a neighbour dispute over a damaged gate to court and the case is tried summarily. Karan pleads not guilty, so the Magistrate records the substance of the evidence and gives a short written judgment explaining the reasons for the decision.
