Section 12 of the CISF Act grants power to CISF personnel to search any person and their belongings within the industrial undertaking or premises. Standard legal procedure following such a search requires making an inventory of any property found, providing a copy of this inventory to the person searched, and sending the found property (along with the person if applicable) to the police for further legal action. If nothing is found, a nil inventory is typically documented and also sent to the police. Giving an inventory of the property found on search to the *management concerned* is not a specified requirement under Section 12 or standard search procedures; the procedure mandates documentation for the person searched and liaison with the police.

Upon searching a person under Section 12 of the CISF Act, the mandatory steps regarding property found are creating an inventory, giving a copy to the person searched, and handing over the property (and person) to the police. Documentation is shared with the person searched and the police, not directly with the management of the facility.

The CISF Act provides specific powers and procedures for security personnel operating within industrial undertakings and other protected areas. Section 12 ensures accountability and transparency in the search process by mandating the creation and distribution of an inventory of found property, linking the procedure to law enforcement (police).
