Gujarat High Court Criminal Manual (subordinate court practice), 1977
The Chief Inspector of Explosive to the Central Government has drawn attention to the fact that the number of summonses he receives for personal attendance before the Courts all over India interferes with his legitimate duties and he has suggested that it would be of very great assistance if the issue of summonses on him and his Inspectors for appearance in Magistrate's Courts would be restricted to the minimum consistent with the requirements of a case. In bringing this to the notice of State Government, the Central Government have observed that where it is necessary to have the evidence of the Chief Inspector or his subordinate taken in Magistrates' Courts which are at a great distance from their head quarters and the cases are such as would normally be committed to the Courts of Sessions, a great deal of inconvenience may be avoided by having resort to section 284 and section 287 of Criminal Procedure Code, as the case may be.
