Section 127 - Inspection when oral evidence refers to real evidence.

(1) If oral evidence refers to the existence or condition of any material thing other than a document, the court may, if it deems fit-

(a) require the production of such material thing for its inspection, or

(b) inspect any moveable or immovable property the inspection of which may be material to the proper determination of the question in dispute.

(2) When an inspection of property under this section is required to be held at a place outside the courtroom, the court shall either:

(a) be adjourned to the place where the subject-matter of the said inspection may be and the proceeding shall continue at that place until the court further adjourns back to its original place of sitting, or to some other place of sitting; or

(b) attend and make an inspection of the subject-matter only, evidence, if any, of what transpired there being given in court afterwards, and in either case the defendant, if any, shall be present.
