Allahabad High Court| No illegality in taking written statement of witness under Section 161 CrPC when reduced into writing in presence of witnesses as well as I.O.
A written statement sent by post or deliver by another person, may not fall under ‘to examine orally' but a written statement submitted by witness himself to I.O., and if the I.O. has assured its genuineness and reduced it in writing, shall be a statement duly recorded under Section 161 CrPC.
