Summary
When the accused refuses to plead, does not plead, or claims a trial instead of being convicted, the judge must fix a date to examine witnesses. On the prosecution's application the judge may issue summons or warrants to compel attendance. The judge may also order production of any document or other thing.

Rohan, accused of shop theft, refuses to plead at his hearing. The judge fixes a date to examine the prosecution's witnesses, and on the prosecutor's application issues summons to the shopkeeper and orders the store to produce the CCTV footage.
