Section 168 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 165 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) empowers the Judge, in order to discover or obtain proper proof of relevant facts, to ask any question of a witness or party and to order the production of any document or thing, so the answer is "Section 168". Sections 165 to 167 deal with a witness's duty to produce documents and with the use of documents that were called for and produced, or refused, on notice.
