Section 310 of CrPC : Section 310: Local Inspection

Explanation using Example

Imagine a situation where a burglary has taken place and the case is currently in trial. The judge, wanting to understand the layout of the house and the points of entry and exit, decides to visit the crime scene. After informing the prosecution and defense about this visit, the judge, accompanied by the necessary court personnel, inspects the house. During the inspection, the judge takes note of the broken window in the back of the house, which was not clearly described during the testimony. This observation helps the judge to understand how the burglar may have entered the house. After the visit, the judge records this observation in a memorandum, which is then added to the official court records. The defense attorney, believing this information to be beneficial to his client's case, requests a copy of the memorandum, which is provided to him at no cost.
