S v CHARUMA 1992 (2) ZLR 162 (H)
Criminal procedure — errors in record — correct procedure to follow
A trial magistrate has no right to tamper with the record of proceedings if he realises that he has made a mistake. He should simply draw his mistake to the attention of the scrutinising magistrate for corrective measures to be taken or seek advice from more senior members of the bench on the proper course to follow. Because of the magistrate's unwarranted interference with the record, the proceedings were set aside and sent for trial de novo before a different magistrate.
