CrPC Section 86
CrPC Section 86 – Attendance of witnesses summoned by Court
Text of Section 86 (Simplified):
When a Court summons any person as a witness or to produce any document, the person must attend the Court in person or through an authorized agent.
Explanation:
Section 86 requires that any person summoned by a Court to give evidence or produce documents must appear before the Court.
The attendance can be in person or through a person authorized by the witness.
This ensures that witnesses comply with Court orders and assist in the administration of justice.
Key Points:
Applies to all persons summoned by the Court.
Attendance can be through an authorized agent if allowed.
Failure to comply with the summons can lead to legal consequences (like penalties or warrant of arrest under other sections).
Practical scenario:
If a Court issues a summons to a witness to testify or submit certain papers, the witness must follow the summons and attend. If the witness cannot appear personally, they can send a duly authorized person to represent them (if permitted).
