Search And Seizure
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Search and seizure, a 'search and seizure' is only temporary interference with the right to hold the property searched and the articles seized. A power of search and seizure is in any system of jurisprudence an overriding power of the State for the protection of social security and that power is necessarily regulated by law, M.P. Sharma v. Satish Chandra, AIR 1954 SC 300 (302): (1954) SCR 1077.
The executive power of 'search and seizure' is a necessary concomitant of a welfare State. It tends to promote the well-being of the nation, Bishambhar Dayal Chandra Mohan v. State of Uttar Pradesh, AIR 1982 SC 33 (43). [Constitution of India, Artis. 162, 19(1)(g)(6) and 301]
