My wife is not sharing information about the school in which my children are enrolled. I need to get the information on record about the school and fees. Also, want to get information on record if she has taken any medical insurance policy with my children as beneficiaries.
kindly share on legality of application u/s 91 of CrPC for GWA case which is civil in nature.

Section 91 (1) cr.p.c. provides that Whenever any Court or any officer in charge of a police station considers that the production of any document or other thing is necessary or desirable for the purposes of any investigation, inquiry, trial or other proceeding under this Code by or before such Court or officer, such Court may issue a summons.
This provision of law can be invoked for criminal cases alone and not for civil case.
You can file a petition under order XI rule 5 seeking direction of court to her to produce the desired documents:
Any party to a proceeding may seek or the Court may order, at any time during the pendency of any suit, production by any party or person, of such documents in the possession or power of such party or person, relating to any matter in question in such suit.
