The accused therefore had no right to have the summons withdrawn by the trial court. Section 91 CrPC also cannot be used at the initial stage to compel production of documents for defence purposes, because document production depends on the court's satisfaction that it is necessary or desirable at the relevant stage and cannot be sought through a roving inquiry.
