Ensure that before proceeding to search
the suspect or his belonging with a view
to recover contraband under NDPS Act

he has a right to insist on a search to be
conducted in the presence of a
magistrate/gazetted officer and, if the

search warrant for a person who is
allegedly in unlawful confinement by

writing for making such exception.
6.
Ensure that the dignity and privacy of
the person searched is respected and
there is no use of force or aggression.
7.
Ensure that search of a woman is made
only by a woman keeping in with the
dignity of a woman.
