CrPC § 360 — Procedure in regard to such evidence when completed

Statutory text (English)

(1) As the evidence of each witness
taken under section 356 or section 357 is completed, it shall be read over to him in the presence of the
accused, if in attendance, or of his pleader, if he appears by pleader, 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 Sessions 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 evidence is taken down in a language different from that in which it has been given and the
witness does not understand the language in which it is taken down, the evidence so taken down shall be
interpreted to him in the language in which it was given, or in a language which he understands.
