209c

(1)

Where an officer has seized anything in exercise of his powers under section 209b, he shall place on such property or thing a mark indicating that it has been seized and shall, without undue delay, make a report of such seizure to a Magistrate having jurisdiction to try the offence on account of which the seizure has been made : 

Provided that, in any case where such property has been seized in connection with an offence dealt with under section 209f or committed by some person unknown or who cannot be found, it shall not be necessary to report to a Magistrate the seizure thereof. [Ins. Ord. No.3/79]
