Explanation
Under Section 94 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973 (and corresponding provisions in the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita), a District Magistrate, Sub-divisional Magistrate, or Magistrate of the First Class may issue a search warrant if they have reason to believe a place is used for the deposit or sale of stolen property or "objectionable articles".
According to Section 94(2), the term "objectionable articles" specifically includes:
- Counterfeit coins, currency notes, or stamps.
- Forged documents (Statement 1).
- False seals (Statement 2).
- Obscene objects referred to in Section 292 of the Indian Penal Code (Statement 3).
- Instruments or materials used for the production of the above items.
The warrant authorizes a police officer above the rank of a constable to enter the premises, search, and take possession of such articles. Therefore, all three statements are correct.
