Judgment text excerpt
The High Court of Madras addressed a petitioner's request for a certified copy of a tape-recorded witness deposition, which was claimed to contain errors. The court held that, in the interest of justice, the deposition should be compared with the tape-recording by a court official, despite the prosecution's view that it was unnecessary. The court ordered this comparison to be completed within one week, thereby ensuring accuracy in the trial records.
