What is the nature of the Court's power under BNSS section 94(1) to summon production of a document considered necessary or desirable for a proceeding?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 94(1) provides that whenever a Court "considers that the production of any document or other thing is necessary or desirable" for a proceeding, it "may issue a summons". The power is discretionary, so a party's request does not compel it, yet it is a real power to compel production, and the person may produce the thing without attending personally.
