Correct Answer
A. Does not become a witness in the case unless he is called as a witnessExplanation
When a person is summoned to produce a document, they do not automatically become a witness in the case. They only become a witness if they are specifically called to testify as a witness. Simply producing a document does not make them a witness, as they are not providing oral testimony or giving their personal account of events.Rate this question:
