Search warrant copy: ordinarily the warrant is produced at search, not supplied; certified copy obtainable and court directions prevail. The warrant issued by a Magistrate is a public document and a certified copy may be obtained from the custodian on payment of legal fees; the Criminal Procedure Code requires production of the warrant to the person concerned in specified cases but does not mandate supplying a copy in every instance, so ordinarily the warrant is produced during the search and a copy need not be furnished, although any High Court direction to supply a copy must be complied with.
