Gujarat High Court Criminal Manual (subordinate court practice), 1977
Section 165 (5) of the Criminal Procedure Code provides that copies of any record made under sub-sections (1) or (3) relating to search of places should be sent by the Investigating Officer to the nearest Magistrate empowered to take cognizance of the offence. This provision lays down a very salutary safeguard so far as the right of a citizen is concerned.
