Production and inspection of company books can be ordered to investigate suspected officer offences, with no appeal. Section 627 authorises a High Court Judge or Tribunal, on application by the Public Prosecutor, Central Government or a company prosecutor, to order inspection or production of a company's books when there is reasonable cause to believe an officer committed an offence and evidence is in those books. The court may permit inspection by named persons or require production by a named officer; bank records related to the company are subject to inspection but not compulsory production. No appeal lies from such orders.
