Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023

Statutory text

(1) As the evidence of each witness
taken  under  section  310  or  section 311 is  completed,  it  shall  be  read  over to  him  in  the  presence  of  the
accused,  if  in  attendance,  or  of his  advocate,  if  he  appears  by  an  advocate,  and  shall,  if  necessary,  be
corrected.
(2) If the witness denies the correctness of any part of the evidence when the same is read over to him,
the Magistrate or presiding Judge may, instead of correcting the evidence, make a memorandum thereon of
the objection made to it by the witness and shall add such remarks as he thinks necessary.
(3) If the record of the evidence is in a language different from that in which it has been given and the
witness does not understand that language, the record shall be interpreted to him in the language in which
it was given, or in a language which he understands.
