(1) By any court when the action or proceeding is pending before it or the taking of the deposition has been ordered by it;
(2) By the circuit court of the circuit in which the deposition is being taken, when the action or proceeding is pending before, or the taking of the deposition has been ordered by, another circuit court or an arbitrator or other person, other than a court;
(3) By the district court of the circuit in which the deposition is being taken, when the action or proceeding is pending before, or the taking of the deposition has been ordered by, another district court.
(b) When the taking of a deposition outside the State is authorized by statute or rule of court and the issuance of a commission or letters rogatory is appropriate, the same may be issued by any court before which the action or proceeding is pending, or which has ordered or given leave for the taking of the deposition.
