Section 312.   Language of record of evidence.

In every case where evidence is taken down under sections 310 or 311,—
(a) if the witness gives evidence in the language of the Court, it shall be taken
down in that language;
(b) if he gives evidence in any other language, it may, if practicable, be taken
down in that language, and if it is not practicable to do so, a true translation of the
evidence in the language of the Court shall be prepared as the examination of the
witness proceeds, signed by the Magistrate or presiding Judge, and shall form part of
the record;
(c) where under clause (b) evidence is taken down in a language other than the
language of the Court, a true translation thereof in the language of the Court shall be
prepared as soon as practicable, signed by the Magistrate or presiding Judge, and
shall form part of the record:
Provided that when under clause (b) evidence is taken down in English and a
translation thereof in the language of the Court is not required by any of the parties,
the Court may dispense with such translation.
