Section 45

Whenever it appears to any authorized officer that there is reasonable cause to believe that in any premises or place there is concealed or deposited any books, accounts or other documents which are suspected to contain information as to the commission of an offence under this Act or any other thing relating to the offence and if he has reasonable grounds for believing that by reason of the delay in obtaining a search warrant the books, accounts, other documents or things are likely to be removed, the officer may exercise in, upon and in respect of the premises or place all the powers mentioned in section 44 in as full and ample a manner as if he were authorized so to do by a warrant issued under that section.
