Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court emphasized the need for uniformity and best practices in criminal trials across India, suggesting the implementation of general guidelines for trial courts. It highlighted the inadequacies in current practices, such as the recording of depositions and the management of evidence, advocating for typed records and systematic nomenclature for witnesses and exhibits. The Court underscored the importance of including specific details in judgments, as mandated by Section 354 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, to enhance clarity and accessibility for appellate review.
