 In conducting a search, an official must try to avoid causing damage and chaos in so far as possible.

If it is reasonably suspected that a person present at the place searched or to be searched would cause obstruction to the extent rendering the search unsuccessful, the official conducting the search has the power to place such person under the custody or care of an official during the search in so far as necessary for preventing his obstruction that would render the search unsuccessful.

If it is reasonably suspected that the person hides on his body the article wanted to be found, the official conducting the search has the power to search his body as prescribed in section 85.

Articles seized from a search shall be put in wrappings or packages sealed or marked with distinct symbols.

When conducting a search in a private place, the official conducting the search shall, before starting the search, express his candour first. And in so far as possible, the search shall be conducted in the presence of the possessor of the place or a member of his family or, if the said person cannot be found, in the presence of at lest two other persons whom the official has requested to attend as witnesses.
