(1) Every question shall be put to a witness orally and the witness shall forthwith reply, unless an objection is made, in which case he shall not reply to the court until the objection is decided by the trial judge advocate.
(2) The evidence of a witness as taken down shall be read to him if he so requests before he leaves the court, and shall, if necessary, be corrected and if he makes any explanation or correction, the prosecutor and the defence may respectively examine him regarding the same.
(3) If the witness denies the correctness of any part of the evidence when the same is read over to him, the trial judge advocate may, instead of correcting the evidence, record the objection made by the witness.
(4) If the evidence is not given in English and the witness does not understand that language, the evidence as recorded shall be interpreted to him in the language in which it was given, or in a language which he understands if he so requests before he leaves the court.
(5) On application of the accused the court shall allow his cross-examination of a witness to be postponed, unless it appears that the request has been made for the purpose of obstruction.
