Gujarat High Court Criminal Manual (subordinate court practice), 1977
When Government desires to consider the propriety of making an appeal under section 378, Criminal Procedure Code, it is ordinarily sufficient that the Public Prosecutor or other Officer appointed by the Government, should have an opportunity of taking copies of the record. But in exceptional cases, in which Government may consider it essential to see any original documents such documents may be given into the possession of the Officer appointed by Government to receive them, under such precautions for securing their safe custody and return as to the Court may deem necessary.
