Production of Document or Thing

Section 94-A Court or an officer-in-charge of a police station may issue summons or a written order to the person in whose possession or power such document or thing is believed to be there, for investigation, requiring him to attend and produce it at the time or place stated in the summons or order. Abdus Satter Bhuiyan vs Deputy Commis- sioner, Dhaka 42 DLR 151.

Claiming privilege against production of document or giving of an- swers. Privilege under the section against production of documents can be claimed only when the disclosure of such papers may be prejudicial to the State.

A mere claim of privilege against production is not enough. Crown Vs. Sultan Ahmed (1957) 9 DLR (WP) 13.

The words in the section cannot contemplate allowing privilege to be claimed where departmental proceedings have been taken against a clerical subordinate and in which the production in evidence of the documents concerned might have been of very mate- rial assistance to the Court in arriving at a correct decision over the matter in issue before it. Crown Vs. Sultan Ahmed (1957) 9 DLR (WP) 13.

Some indication should be given to the court as to why privilege under section 123. Evidence Act against production of a document is claimed; what injury to the public is apprehended, or what affairs of State are involved in the matter. Without such indication the Court may draw an adverse inference from the non-production of the document concerned. Crown Vs. Sultan Ahmed (1957) 9 DLR (WP) 13

Production of documents by either of the parties to the suit without amending the pleadings is not permissible in law- The High Court Division held that intro- duction of new story by deposition and by production of documents by either of the parties to the suit without amending the pleadings is not permissible in law and is liable to be expunged in view of provisions under Order VI Rule 7 of CPC which fol- lows that matters not specifically raised in pleadings parties cannot be allowed to lead evidence on such matters.
