Section 93 of CRPC. "When search warrant may be
issued"
(1) (a) Where any Court has reason to believe that a person
to whom a summons or order under section 91 or a requisition
under sub-section (1) of section 92 has been, or might be,
addressed, will not or would not produce the document or
thing as required by such summons or requisition, or
(b) where such document or thing is not known to the Court to be in the possession of any person, or
(c) where the Court considers that the purposes of any
inquiry, trial or other proceeding under this Code will be
served by a general search or inspection,
it may issue a search-warrant; and the person to whom such
warrant is directed, may search or inspect in accordance
therewith and the provisions hereinafter contained.
(2) The Court may, if it thinks fit, specify in the warrant
the particular place or part thereof to which only the search or
inspection shall extend; and the person charged with the
execution of such warrant shall then search or inspect only the
place or part so specified.
(3) Nothing contained in this section shall authorise any
Magistrate other than a District Magistrate or Chief Judicial
Magistrate to grant a warrant to search for a document, parcel
or other thing in the custody of the postal or telegraph
authority.
