Delhi High Court sets aside CBI order directing Bentley dealer to furnish ₹50 lakh demand draft

The Delhi High Court has set aside a CBI order directing a Bentley dealer to furnish a ₹50 lakh demand draft, ruling that Section 91 CrPC cannot compel the creation of a demand draft. The court clarified that Section 91 of the Criminal Procedure Code allows investigative agencies to seek the production of existing documents or things, but it does not empower them to compel the creation of new financial instruments like demand drafts. This decision safeguards against the misuse of powers by investigative agencies, ensuring adherence to legal procedures.
