INTRODUCTION

The law regarding processes to compel the production of documents and other movable property
is laid down in Sections 91 to 94 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Such processes are of two
kinds, viz., a summons and a search warrant.

Whenever any court or any officer in charge of a police station considers that any document or
other thing is necessary or desirable for the purposes of any investigation, inquiry, trial or other
proceeding under the Code, such court or officer may issue a summons or a written order to the
person in whose possession or power it is believed to be requiring him to attend and produce it,
or to produce it at the time and place stated in the summons or order. (Section 91).

If the document or thing is in the custody of a postal or telegraph authority, a District Magistrate,
Chief Judicial Magistrate, the High Court or Court of Sessions may require the postal or
telegraph authority to deliver such document, parcel or thing to such person as such Magistrate
or court directs. (Section 92)

The court may issue search warrant if:

1. any Court has reason to believe that a person to whom a summons or order given will not
or would not produce the documents or things as required by such summons, or
2. where such document or things in the possession of any person and also not known to the
Court, or
