In Article 4 of the Criminal Procedure Code 2015, there are provisions regarding this issue as follows:
- Conveyance is the act of an authority forcefully bringing a person detained in an emergency case, arrested, temporarily detained, or accused to the location to conduct an investigation, prosecution, or trial.
- Summoning is the act of an authority forcefully bringing a witness, the person accused, or suggested for prosecution to the location for investigation, prosecution, trial, or a victim who refuses forensic examination.
