Section 26D

Whenever it appears to any authorized officer or a police officer not below the rank of Inspector that there is reasonable cause to believe that in any dwelling house, shop, other building or place there is concealed or deposited any films or filming equipment in respect of which an offence under this Act or subsidiary legislation made thereunder is being or has been committed, or any other things relating to the offence, and if he has reasonable grounds for believing that by reason of the delay in obtaining a search warrant the films, filming equipment, books, documents or things are likely to be removed, the officer may exercise all the powers specified in section 26C as if he were authorized so to do by a warrant issued under that section.
