Judgment
Newbould and Ghose, JJ.—It does not appear to be necessary for the deposition to be read over to the witness in the presence of the accused in the case of an inquiry u/s 107 of the Criminal Procedure Code. u/s 117(2) of the Code such inquiry shall be made in the manner prescribed for conducting trials and recording evidence in summons cases. The manner prescribed for recording evidence in summons cases is to be found in Section 355. Section 360 is applicable to the evidence of witnesses taken u/s 356 or 357, and is not applicable to a case in which the evidence is recorded u/s 355.
We make this Rule absolute. We set aside the order of the Sessions Judge allowing the appeal, and direct that the appeal be re-heard on the merits.
