Section 463

Production of documents kept by registrar.—(1) No process for compelling the production of any document or register kept by the registrar shall issue from any court except with the special leave of that court for reasons to be recorded; and any such process, if issued, shall bear thereon a statement that it is issued with the special leave of the court so granted and state the reasons for grant of such leave.

(2) A copy of, or extract from, any document or register kept and registered at any of the offices for the registration of companies under this Act, certified to be a true copy under the hand of the registrar (whose official position it shall not be necessary to prove) shall, in all legal proceedings, be admissible in evidence as of equal validity with the original document.

(3) Notwithstanding anything contained in any other law, no one shall, without the permission of the Commission in writing, take over or remove any original document or register from the custody of the registrar.
