CrPC Section-277 - Language of record of evidence

Description

(a) If the witness gives evidence in the language of the Court, it shall be recorded in that language.

(b) If the witness gives evidence in any other language, it may be recorded in that language if practicable. If not, a true translation into the language of the Court shall be prepared as the examination proceeds, signed by the Magistrate or Presiding Judge, and included in the record.

(c) When evidence is recorded in a language other than the language of the Court under clause (b), a true translation into the language of the Court shall be prepared as soon as possible, signed by the Magistrate or Presiding Judge, and included in the record.

Provided that when evidence is recorded in English under clause (b) and none of the parties require a translation into the language of the Court, the Court may dispense with such translation.
