Securing possession of records: warrant permits police to search, seize and deliver society records to new board or liquidator. Where a multi State co operative society's records or property are at risk, its Chief Executive may apply to the local magistrate to secure them. The magistrate may issue a warrant authorising a police officer (not below sub inspector) to enter, search and seize records and property believed to be kept at any place; seized items must be handed to the new board or to the liquidator, and all search and seizure actions must comply with the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.
