Section 27

Every officer making an arrest under this section shall, without unnecessary delay, take or send the person arrested to the officer-in-charge of the nearest police station or to the Controller or any other park officer empowered under section 28 to compound the offence:

Provided that in the latter case, if the arrested person refuses to compound the alleged offence, he shall forthwith be sent to the officer-in-charge of the nearest police station to be dealt with according to the law.

Whenever a park officer or a police officer has reasonable cause to suspect that an offence against this Ordinance or any regulations made hereunder, has been committed, he may search any conveyance, building or place under the control of the person suspected, his agents or servants.
