Long string of questions couched in complex sentences must be avoided: HC
The High Court of Karnataka has issued guidelines to ensure that the trial courts prepare simple and unambiguous questionnaires while posing questions to the accused to enable them to personally explain circumstances while appearing in the evidences against them under Section 313 of Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.PC).
“The questions must be simple and specific to the evidence against the accused. A long string of questions couched in complex sentences must be avoided. Several distinct matters should not be rolled up, and every question must cover a distinct incriminatory evidence,” the High Court said.
