According to legal provisions, particularly Section 51(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, whenever it is necessary to cause a female to be searched, the search shall be made by another female with strict regard to decency.

– The search of a female must be conducted by another female.
– Strict regard to decency is mandated during such searches.

– This provision aims to protect the dignity and privacy of women during searches conducted by law enforcement authorities. While a female police officer is ideal, the law permits ‘another female’ to conduct the search, ensuring that a male officer does not conduct it directly.
