Code
CPC(1) No Judge, Magistrate or other judicial officer
shall be liable to arrest under civil process while going to, presiding in, or returning from, his Court.(2) Where any matter is pending before a tribunal having jurisdiction therein, or believing in good
faith that it has such jurisdiction, the parties thereto, their pleaders, mukhtars, revenue-agents and
recognized agents, and their witnesses acting in obedience to a summons, shall be exempt from arrest
under civil process other than process issued by such tribunal for contempt of Court while going to or
attending such tribunal for the purpose of such matter, and while returning from such tribunal.(3) Nothing in sub-section (2) shall enable a judgment-debtor to claim exemption from arrest under
an order for immediate execution or where such judgment-debtor attends to show cause why he should
not be committed to prison in execution of a decree.
