Section 53

If any books, documents or papers which are in evidence or liable to inspection in any proceedings under this Ordinance contain any entry in which an informer is named or described, or which might lead to his discovery, the court shall cause that entry to be concealed from view or to be obliterated, but only to the extent that it is necessary to protect the informer from discovery.

If, in a trial for any offence against this Ordinance or any rule made thereunder, the court, after full inquiry, believes that the informer wilfully made in his complaint a material statement which he knew or believed to be false or did not believe to be true or, if the court is of the opinion that justice cannot be done without the discovery of the informer, it shall be lawful for the court to require the production of the original complaint, if in writing, and permit inquiry and require full disclosure concerning the informer.
