Chapter VIII - RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR ASSISTANCE IN CERTAIN MATTERS AND PROCEDURE FOR ATTACHMENT AND FORFEITURE OF PROPERTY (From Section 111 to Section 124)
Power to summon persons requires attendance and truthful answers, provides protections for vulnerable persons and limits further compulsory appearances. A police officer under section 194 may, by written order, summon persons acquainted with the facts to attend and answer truly, except where answers would self-incriminate. Certain categories-young males, elderly males, women, mentally or physically disabled persons, and those with acute illness-cannot be required to attend away from their residence but may choose to attend a police station. If the facts do not disclose a cognizable offence under section 190, summoned persons need not be compelled to attend a Magistrate's Court.
