- Statement A: Section 92 of CrPC deals with obtaining documents or parcels from Postal or Telegraph authorities. It empowers specified courts (High Court, Court of Session) or Magistrates (District Magistrate, Chief Judicial Magistrate, etc.) to require the Postal or Telegraph authority to deliver the document, parcel, or thing. This is done via requisition, not typically through a search warrant directed at the authority's premises. Therefore, stating that a Magistrate may issue a warrant to search is incorrect as per Section 92. - Statement B: Section 93(1)(c) of CrPC allows a search warrant when the Court considers a general search necessary, which includes situations where the Court does not know who possesses the required document or thing (Explanation to Section 93). - Statement C: Section 93(1)(a) of CrPC allows a search warrant if the Court believes that a person who has been issued a summons or order to produce a document/thing will not produce it. - Statement D: Section 93(1)(c) allows the Court to issue a search warrant for a "general search or inspection" of a place.
