 Law related to Search Warrant under Chapter VIII A Cr PC

The provisions relating to summons to produce papers or other objects, search-warrant provisions, and other regulations connected to search and seizure are covered in Chapter VII, which contains Sections 91-100 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The provisions of this chapter deal with summons and warrants, including their issuance, service, and execution.

A summon is a command from a Court to an individual, to appear at a given time and place before him. A summons can be issued in both criminal and civil situations. A warrant is a legal document issued by a court or magistrate that allows a police officer to make an arrest, conduct a search, confiscate property, or do other actions related to the administration of justice.

The word ‘search’ refers to the operation of government machinery that involves checking through or carefully inspecting a location, area, person, object, etc. to detect something hidden or to reveal the pieces of evidence of a crime. The police can lookout for an individual or a car or premises, but only after taking necessary and legitimate lawful approval. “Seizure” is a vigorous action that unexpectedly takes over, captures, removes, or overwhelms an entity or an individual.

The ability to search and seize is a necessary power for the improvement of society; nevertheless, search and seizure is a highly subjective process by nature, and the exercise of power is subject to certain procedural limits. Officers with the authority to conduct a search and seizure have precise authorities, and reporting to a senior official is necessary at each level to ensure that no officer acts arbitrarily.

The authorization to search and seize must be expressly stated in the legislation, and the officer in issue must adhere to the established regulations and procedures. Police officers have the ability to conduct investigations, make arrests, conduct searches, seize individuals and their property, and even use force when necessary. Yet this power must be exerted within the limits of the law, and when officers exceed those limits they jeopardize the admissibility of any information gathered for prosecution.

Form number 10 is for the warrant to search after the officer receives a piece of information about the particular offence, once it is filed. Form number 11 is for the search of any particular place which is the suspected place of deposit. Under Form number 30, Special Summons is issued for the person who is accused of committing petty offences. Under form number 33, Summons to witness are executed. These are the forms relating to search warrants and summons.

Case Laws related to Defamation in favour of ClaimantCase Laws related to Defamation in favour of Claimant. TOLLEY Vs, J.S FRY & SONS LTD – (1931) Facts The defendants were owners of chocolate manufacturing company. They advertised their products with a caricature of the claimant, who was a prominent amateur golfer, showing him with the defendants’ chocolate in his pocket while playing golf. The advertisement compared the excellence of the chocolate to the excellence of the claimant’s drive. The claimant did not consent to or knew about the advertisement. Issue The claimant alleged that the advertisement suggested that he agreed to his portrait being used for commercial purposes and for financial gain. He further claimed that the use of his image made him look like someone who prostituted his reputation for advertising purposes and was thus unworthy of his status. At trial, several golfers gave evidence to the effect that if an amateur sold himself for advertisement, he no longer maintained his amateur status and might be asked to resign from his respective club. Furthermore, there was evidence that the possible adverse effects of the caricature on the claimant’s reputation were brought to the defendants’ attention. The trial judge found that the caricature could have a defamatory meaning. The jury then found in favor of the claimant. Held The House of Lords held that in the circumstances of this case – as explained by the facts – the caricature was capable of constituting defamation. In other words, the publication could have the meaning alleged by the claimant. The Lords also ordered a new trial limited to the assessment of damages. NEWSTEAD V LANDON EXPRESS NEWSPAPER LTD, (1939) Facts: A newspaper published a defamatory article about Harold Newstead. However, another person with this name brought an action in libel. He claimed that the article had been misunderstood as leading to him. The defendant newspaper recognised that they published the article. Also, they denied that they had the intention of being defamatory of him. Consequently, the claimant argued that the newspaper was under a duty. The duty was to give a clear and complete description of the correct person. Moreover, the claimant argued that the defendants were in breach of the duty. Issues: The issue in Newstead v London Express Newspaper, was if the reasonable persons would have understood the words complained of to refer to the plaintiff. Held: The Court of Appeal stated that in accordance with the current law on libel, liability for libel does not depend on the intention of the defamer; but on the fact of the defamation. Accordingly, a reasonable man, in this case a newspaper publisher, must be aware of the possibility of individuals with the same name and must assume that the words published will be read by a reasonable man with reasonable care.
