Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court issued guidelines to address inadequacies in criminal trials, emphasizing the need for uniformity across jurisdictions. It highlighted the importance of recording witness depositions in typed format and ensuring proper documentation of exhibits and witnesses for better appellate review. The Court mandated that trial judges must not delegate the recording of evidence to clerks and must ensure that depositions are clearly structured for reference, thereby enhancing the quality of criminal justice administration.
