Judge's handwriting unable to read nor understand

Section 9 , Trail going on and witnesses gave the statement and Cross examination done for witness but the problem is 1) judge had not written all the statement correctly. 2) judge had missed few points of witnesses and sentences of witnesses. I think judge had missed or failed to note few lines of witnesses in court's trail record. 3) whatever written by judge, we cannot read that certified deposition statement copy. Query- solutions for above , please suggest ? Is there any provision or guidelines for Judges have to follow while writing deposition statement ? Is there any rules that all the notes , deposition statement of witnesses have to type in English language via computer ?

judges are not required to record depositions on their own hand writing. if accidentally typist was not available judges do that.In consumer forums no steno or systems provided to judges in open court. you apply for a copy by filing Copy application which alone will be an authenticated copy of deposition without any mistakes and question of judge hand writing does not arise

Dear Sir,

If the conduct of the judge in recording the depositions not to your expection then immediately file a transfer petition and get it tranferred to some other competent court and then apply recall of the same witness for reexamination.
