(1) For enforcing the provisions of this Chapter, any officer referred to in section 6 may enter and search any place without any warrant where such officer has reason to believe that the property of any debtor or any document evidencing transactions relating to a loan given to any debtor is kept or concealed; and may seize such property or documents and detain the same in his custody for such period as he may think fit. If the property is not delivered to the debtor, it shall be returned to the creditor from whose custody it was seized.
(2) Except as provided in sub-section (2), the other provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (II of 1974), shall, so far as may be applicable, apply to such search or seizure as they apply to any search or seizure made under the provisions of the said Code.
