Hi! Thanks for the question!

Yes, it is compulsory for the court to record the statements in the court through a typewriter or himself so that a judgment could be formed that entails the proper reasoning and speaks for itself. The statements so recorded shall make part of the record of the case. It comes under order XVIII(18) of CPC .

Good Luck!
