¶29

Audio Authentication Report dated 29.06.2016. It is contended that the witness who is to be summoned is Mr.H.V.Naveen, the author of the said report and who is now working as an Assistant Director of Audio and Video division, Truth labs, Bangalore. Since he is a witness who has to be examined on Subpoena being issued, it would only be appropriate that his evidence in chief is also recorded orally. Let me not make any further observations and leave it to the wisdom of the learned counsels to handle the witness during his examination and cross examination.
