Criminal Procedure Code 139 (6) The absence of such a certificate in a deposition shall not be a bar to the deposition being received as evidence in any case in which it is desired to tender the deposition in evidence if it is proved by other evidence that the other requirements of this section were in fact complied with. Interpretation of evidence to accused 270. (1) Whenever any evidence is given in a language not understood by the accused, and he is present in person, it shall be interpreted to him in open court in a language which he understands. (2) When documents are put in for the purpose of formal proof it shall be in the discretion of the Court to interpret as much of it as appears necessary. Remarks as to demeanour of witness 271. A presiding Magistrate recording the evidence of a witness may, at the conclusion of the evidence and at the foot of the notes of it, record such remarks, if any, as he thinks material respecting the demeanour of the witness while under examination. Judge to take notes of evidence 272. In all criminal cases tried before the High Court the Judge shall take down in writing notes of the evidence adduced. Other persons may be authorized to take down notes of evidence 272a. Nothing in this Chapter shall prevent a Judge or Magistrate in an inquiry or trial causing verbatim notes to be taken by another person of what each witness deposes in addition to any note of a substance of it which may be made or taken by the Judge or Magistrate himself; and such note shall form part of the record.
