(a) Local Investigation and examination of an expert:
The Magistrate may for the purpose of an inquiry under Section 133 or Section 138 (where the existence of public right is denied or the person against whom an order under Section 133 is made appears and shows cause) direct a local investigation to be made by such person as he thinks fit, or summon and examine an expert. (Section 139).
The Magistrate directing a local investigation may declare by whom the whole or any part of the necessary expenses of the local investigation shall be paid. The report of such person may be read as evidence in the case. (Section 140).

In default of such person forthwith obeying such injunction the Magistrate may himself use or cause to be used, such means as he thinks fit to obviate such danger or to prevent such injury.
