Record in High Court

AI Assist

Summary

High Court may make general rules for how witnesses' evidence and the accused's examination are recorded in cases before it. When a case is in that High Court, testimony and the accused's examination must be taken down according to those rules. This creates a uniform method for recording evidence.

Example

Priya is a witness in a criminal appeal before the High Court. The High Court's rule requires court staff to record her evidence and the accused's examination in a prescribed format. The court must take down the testimony and examination exactly in that manner.

Bare Act

Enacted text

Every High Court may, by general rule, prescribe the manner in which the evidence of witnesses and the examination of the accused shall be taken down in cases coming before it; and such evidence and examination shall be taken down in accordance with such rule.
