Note:- The statements made admissible in evidence by this section should not be given under weight in as much as they are not made on oath and are not subject to crossexamination. Where the accused that has made statements incriminating the other accused is not on trial with them he should be called as a witness in the usual way. When the evidence of one accused is an essential part of the case for the prosecution or defense of another, the accused should be tried separately (see section 238 and note thereto). An exception may be made when persons are being jointly tried by virtue of section 206 (h) for offences connected within the same Act. 222. Language not understood by Accused. When any evidence is given in a language not understood by the accused and the accused is present in Court, it shall be interpreted to him in a language that he understands. 223. Interpreter Bound to Interpret Truthfully. When the services of an interpreter are required by any Criminal Court for the interpretation of any evidence or statement, he shall be bound to state the true interpretation of such evidence or statement. 224. View. Whenever in the course of any judicial proceedings under this Code the Magistrate or Court thinks it advisable to view the place where the offence alleged to have been committed or any other place, the Magistrate or Court may proceed to view it accompanied by the accused and may cause any witness to attend, he may take any evidence or hear any statement or explanation by the accused on the spot, and the prosecutor and the pleader for the accused shall have the right to be present at the view. 225. Commissions to take Evidence. (1) Whenever in the course of any judicial proceeding, under this Code it appears to a Magistrate of the first class or to a High Court that the examination of a witness is necessary for the ends of justice and that the attendance of such witness cannot be procured without an amount of delay, expense or inconvenience which in the circumstances of the case would be unreasonable, such Magistrate or Court may dispense with his attendance and may issue a commission, to any Magistrate of the first or second class within the local limits of whose jurisdiction such witness resides, to take the evidence of such witness. (2) When in such a case the proceedings are before a Magistrate of the second or Payam Court, the Magistrate may apply to a Magistrate of the first class who shall have power if he thinks fit to issue a commission for the examination of the witness. NOTE: The issue of such commission is an expedient, which should only be adopted in extreme cases of delay, expense or inconvenience. 75
