Chapter VIII - RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR ASSISTANCE IN CERTAIN MATTERS AND PROCEDURE FOR ATTACHMENT AND FORFEITURE OF PROPERTY (From Section 111 to Section 124)
Search-warrant authority expands judicial power to order searches where production is unlikely or possession unknown. A Court may issue a search-warrant where it believes a summoned or requisitioned person will not produce a required document or thing, where the document or thing is not known to be in any person's possession, or where a general search or inspection would advance the proceeding; the warrant permits search or inspection under its terms. The Court may limit the warrant to a specified place or part thereof, and only a District Magistrate or Chief Judicial Magistrate may grant a warrant to search items in postal custody.
