What you mean by notes of evidence?

Evidence of a witness is recorded in the open court and is called deposition. Certified Copy of any deposition is available to anybody on payment of necessary charges therefor.

Re: criminal law

your lawyer could have inspected the file and jot down the evidence on record or would have applied for certified copy of the same. the adjournment sought was rightly disallowed.

Re: criminal law

You may apply for "inspection of file" and take note of the statements recorded in the court; or copy of any other document that may be available on court file.
