Section 162 of BSA : Section 162: Refreshing memory.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi is a shopkeeper who witnessed a robbery at his store. During the trial, he is called to testify about the incident. While on the witness stand, Ravi is asked to describe the sequence of events that took place during the robbery. Ravi had written down the details of the robbery in his diary immediately after the incident. The court allows Ravi to refer to his diary to refresh his memory about the exact time the robbers entered the store and what they were wearing. This helps Ravi provide accurate testimony.

Example 2:

Dr. Mehta, a forensic expert, is called to testify in a murder trial. He had conducted an autopsy on the victim and prepared a detailed report. During his testimony, Dr. Mehta is asked about the specific findings from the autopsy. He requests permission from the court to refer to his autopsy report to ensure he provides precise information. The court grants permission, and Dr. Mehta uses the report to refresh his memory about the cause of death and the time of death, which are crucial to the case.
