Part VI · Assistance in Relation to Search and Seizure

16. Request by Sri Lanka for search and seizure

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

Where a proceeding or investigation relating to a criminal matter is commenced in Sri Lanka, and the Central

Authority has reasonable grounds to believe that any thing relevant to such proceeding or investigation is located in a specified country, he may request the appropriate authority of such specified country to apply for, and obtain, a warrant or other authority authorizing the search for, and seizure of, such thing, or any other thing that is, or may be relevant to such proceeding or investigation, and to transmit to him anything seized in the course of any search authorized by such warrant.
