35. As I read the provisions of the Code it appears to provide for search by a police officer, which may be made under Section 165 before any proceeding has been initiated before any Court and searches under the authority of a Court under Section 96, which must be made after the initiation of some proceeding. The only section's that I can find in the Code authorizing a Magistrate to search without any proceeding having been initiated before him, are Sections 98 and 100. The former confers on a District Magistrate, Sub-divisional Officer, Presidency Magistrate or Magistrate of the 1st class the power of issuing a warrant or to Search houses suspected of containing stolen property, forged documents, counterfeit coins and such like articles, but this power can only be exercised upon information and after such enquiry as the Magistrate thinks, necessary. The latter enables a Presidency Magistrate, Magistrate of the first class or Sub-divisional Magistrate, if he has reason to believe that a person is confined under such circumstances that the confinement amounts to an offence, to issue a warrant for the search for the person so confined. It is significant that Section 96 which authorizes the issue of a search-warrant for the purposes of an enquiry, trial or other proceeding under the Code confers the powers of issuing the warrant on "the Court," while Sections 98 and 100 confer the power of issuing a warrant to search only on the Magistrate specified in the section.
