Gujarat High Court Criminal Manual (subordinate court practice), 1977
The practice of making remarks about demeanour of witness in judgment without making note of it is not proper. The attention of the Judges and Magistrates is drawn to section 280, Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, according to which it is obligatory for them to make such remarks (if any), as they think material, respecting the demeanour of such witness whilst under examination.
