Clause 37

The Deputy Commissioner of Police or the Registrar may by notice in writing require the owner of any licensed vehicle to produce at some convenient place and time for his inspection such vehicle or the licence relating thereto or both and such owner shall, as soon as practicable after the service upon him of such notice, produce such vehicle or licence or both as the case may be.

Such notice may be served upon the owner personally or may be sent to him by registered post to the address contained in the register of vehicles kept under this Ordinance or any rules made thereunder.

If any owner required under this section to produce any vehicle or licence fails so to do, he shall be guilty of an offence under this Ordinance unless he proves that owing to a mechanical break-down or other sufficient reason (the proof whereof shall lie on the owner), the vehicle or licence cannot be produced as required.
