# Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995, Section 34: Petition for warrant.


(1) A petition for warrant to arrest and commit a person suspected of or charged with crime may be in the forms—
(a) set out in Schedule 2 to this Act; or
(b) prescribed by Act of Adjournal,
or as nearly as may be in such form; and Schedule 3 to this Act shall apply to any such petition as it applies to the indictment.
(2) If on the application of the procurator fiscal, a sheriff is satisfied that there is reasonable ground for suspecting that an offence has been or is being committed by a body corporate, the sheriff shall have the like power to grant warrant for the citation of witnesses and the production of documents and articles as he would have if a petition charging an individual with the commission of the offence were presented to him.
