  1. Procedure in regard to such evidence when completed.
    (1) As the evidence of each witness taken under section 275 or section 276 is completed, it shall be read over to him in the presence of the accused, if in attendance, or of his pleader, if he appears by pleader, and shall, if necessary, be corrected.
    (2) If the witness denies the correctness of any part of the evidence when the same is read over to him, the
    Magistrate or presiding Judge may, instead of correcting the evidence, make a memorandum thereon of the
    objection made to it by the witness and shall add such remarks as he thinks necessary.
    (3) If the record of the evidence is in a language different from that in which it has been given and the witness
    does not understand that language, the record shall be interpreted to him in the language in which it was given, or in a language which he understands.
