LACUNA OF COURT PROCEEDINGS:

1. Anybody , appear as accused instead of Mr. XYZ, is marked as present. Because there is NO PHOTOGRAPH of accused, or any parties to proceeding! [ Only photos of Bails ] A Party present are also marked absent ! Who challenges? what happened even if you complain?? It is happening in thousands of Indian courts, daily.
2. No System to give in writing the next date. Roznama is written and signed usually at the end of the day by court clerk, and signed by Judge. No audio or video recording of what is stated, which next date is given, and whenever managed, they changed date, show absence of one of the party, victim of this procedure, and get either ex-parte order or No SAY order and confirm it next date showing the Victim Party is absent when called.
3. Many of Oral Arguments are not noted by presiding Judge, and ORDER Passed on it. Though it is taken care of by submitting Written Arguments, Oral arguments of value are not on record.
4. During Oral Examination of parties and witnesses, Yes to No ,& small alterations of Evidence , shift the entire case from Winning to Losing. Even clerk, when managed, can do it, and Judge do not read it detail before signing, nor is it read out & signed by Witness.
5. Police Panchnama, Criminal Witnesses changes their statements , and Police too, do not Video Record Statements in Police Station, or in Panchas. It all lead to injustice, hostile witnesses, acquittal of Criminals, Lots of Wastage of Time of Police, Court Proceedings, and it all became a mimicry, a Drama of Criminal Proceedings, a Criminal goes out of Court Laughing at Legal Proceedings.
6. Now a days CC TV, PC Camera c Video is so cheap, may not cost even a Rupee per hour, and I am sure, the Litigant will share this cost to get it's Recording,ensure better Judgement, and control corruption, managing the Court, Judges, Police, Witness, Court Clerks, Missing Files, False Records of Presence or absence of Litigants and accused,
I strongly believe, these CC TV , camera audio & Video Recording be freely allowed, and Record be maintained of all cases in all courts. . The cost is negligible compared to the benefit.
