As in force on 31 December 2021.
The text below is this provision as reproduced in the Revised Edition that came into force on this date. A revised edition consolidates the law without changing its substance, so editorial amendments — such as renumbering, updated citations and formatting — may have been made but are not shown as a redline.
(1)A police officer conducting any investigation under this Part must keep a daily diary of his or her progress, setting out —
(b)the times at which he or she began and closed his or her investigation;
(c)the places he or she visited; and
(d)the findings of his or her investigation.
(2)Despite anything in the Evidence Act 1893, an accused is not entitled to call for or inspect such a diary before or during an inquiry, a trial or other proceeding under this Code.
(3)Where, for the purposes of section 161 or 162 of the Evidence Act 1893, the police officer conducting the investigation refers to such a diary, then —
(a)the accused may be shown only the entries in the diary that the officer or prosecutor has referred to; and
(b)the prosecutor must conceal or obliterate any other entries.
