Section 138 of CPC : Section 138: Power Of High Court To Require Evidence To Be Recorded In English

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where the High Court has issued a notification stating that all District Judges in the state must record evidence in English for cases that are appealable. Mrs. Sharma is involved in a property dispute case, and the trial is being conducted in her district court. As per Section 138 of The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, the District Judge, in compliance with the High Court's directive, records all testimonies and evidential proceedings in English. This ensures that if the case is appealed to a higher court, the records are readily understandable and there is no need for translation, facilitating a smoother and more efficient appellate process.
