Non-party witness protection against compelled title-deed production requires a written agreement before disclosure can be compelled in litigation.

Section 130 protects a non-party witness from compulsory production of title deeds, documents evidencing property held as pledgee or mortgagee, and documents that may tend to incriminate the witness. Production may be compelled only where the witness has agreed in writing with the person seeking production, or a person through whom that person claims, to produce them.
