Syariah Criminal Procedure (Federal Territories) Act 1997 s 48
If any Judge has reason to believe that any person is confined under such circumstances that the confinement amounts to an offence, he may issue a search warrant, and the person to whom such warrant is directed may search for the person confined; such search shall be made in accordance therewith and the person, if found, shall be immediately taken before a Judge who shall make such order as in the circumstances of the case seems proper.
Menggeledah untuk mencari orang yang dikurung dengan salah
Jika mana-mana Hakim mempunyai sebab untuk mempercayai bahawa mana-mana orang dikurung dalam apa-apa hal keadaan yang menjadikan pengurungan itu suatu kesalahan, dia boleh mengeluarkan waran geledah, dan orang yang kepadanya waran itu diarahkan boleh mencari orang yang dikurung itu; pencarian itu hendaklah dibuat mengikut waran itu dan orang itu, jika dijumpai, hendaklah dengan serta-merta dibawa ke hadapan seorang Hakim yang hendaklah membuat apa-apa perintah yang difikirkan patut mengikut hal keadaan kes itu.
