Record of examination of accused ensures full recording, interpretation, explanation, and signing with electronic-examination safeguards. The provision mandates full recording of every question and answer when the accused is examined before a Magistrate or Court of Session, recorded by the presiding Judge or under his direction. The record should be in the language of examination where practicable or in the Court's language, be shown or interpreted to the accused who may add to answers, and be signed by the accused and the presiding officer who certifies its accuracy. Electronic examinations of detained accused require prompt subsequent signing. The section excludes summary trials.
