Evidence Act, 1975 (NRCD 323)
Section 77 - Writing used to refresh memory
(1) Where a witness, while or before testifying, uses a writing to refresh the memory of the witness with respect to a matter about which the witness testifies, the testimony on that matter shall be excluded if the writing is not produced at the trial unless the Court allows the testimony to stand.
(2) Where the writing is produced at the trial, an adverse party may, if that party chooses, inspect the writing, cross-examine the witness concerning it, and introduce in evidence those parts of it which relate to the testimony of the witness for the purpose of attacking the credibility of the witness or, if the writing is otherwise admissible, for any other purpose.
