When it appears to any Religious Enforcement Officer or police officer of or above the rank of Inspector that there is reasonable cause to believe that in any place there is concealed or deposited any evidence of the commission of an offence under which the Syariah Court has jurisdiction, and the Religious Enforcement Officer or police officer has reasonable grounds to believe that by reason of the delay in obtaining a search warrant, the purpose of the search is likely to fail, such Religious Enforcement Officer or police officer may exercise in and in respect of the place all the powers mentioned in section 55(1) fully and adequately as if he was empowered to do so by warrant issued under the section.
