A letter of request from a country or place outside India to a Court or an authority for investigation…

Under Section 113 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly Section 166B of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973), upon receipt of a letter of request from a Court or an authority in a country or place outside India competent to issue such letter in that country or place for the examination of any person or production of any document or thing in relation to an offence under investigation in that country or place, the Central Government may forward the same to the Chief Judicial Magistrate or Judicial Magistrate for summoning the person or cause the letter to be sent to a police officer for investigation. By contrast, Section 112 BNSS (formerly Section 166A CrPC) deals with an outgoing letter of request issued by a Criminal Court in India to a competent authority for investigation in a country or place outside India.
