s 63Search for persons wrongfully confined

If any Magistrate has reason to believe that any person is confined under such circumstances that the confinement amounts to an offence, he may issue a search warrant, and the person to whom the warrant is directed may search for the person confined; the search shall be made in accordance therewith and the person, if found, shall be immediately taken before a

Magistrate who shall make such order as in the circumstances of the case seems proper.
