234. Reading over evidence and correction

The evidence of each witness taken in inquiries under

If the witness denies the correctness of any part of the evidence when the evidence is read over to him, the Magistrate may, instead of correcting the evidence, make a memorandum thereon of the objection made to it by the witness, and shall add such remarks as he thinks necessary.

The evidence so taken down shall be interpreted to the witness, if necessary, in the language in which it was given or in a language which he understands.

When a deposition has been read over to a witness and acknowledged to be correct, the Magistrate shall append to the evidence of the witness the letters "RAW and his initials which is deemed to be a certificate that the evidence has been read over and, if necessary, interpreted to the witness in the presence and hearing of the accused, and has been admitted by the witness to be correct.

The absence of such a certificate in a deposition shall not be a bar to the deposition being received as evidence in any case in which it is desired to tender the deposition in evidence if it is proved by other evidence that the other requirements of this section were in fact complied with.
