Note:
1.
In complex cases, such as conspiracies, economic offences or trials involving
voluminous oral or documentary evidence, the list of witnesses and exhibits may be
substantially long. Where the number of witnesses or documents is unusually large,
the trial Court may prepare charts only for the material, relevant, and relied-upon
witnesses and documents, clearly indicating that the chart is confined to such items.
This ensures that the charts remain functional reference tools rather than unwieldy
compilations.
2.
The aforesaid directions shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to all witnesses examined and
all evidence adduced by the defence.
3.
The specimen charts provided herein shall ordinarily serve as the standard format to
be followed by all the trial Courts.
By order of the Court,
SHIV GOPAL MISHRA,
Registrar General .
