(2) Any police officer or welfare worker may confiscate any such work as aforesaid and any work so seized shall be destroyed, or disposed of, according to the instructions of the Court.
(3) Any Court may, if satisfied on sworn information that there is reasonable ground for believing that such works are being kept in a building or place within its jurisdiction or that an offence under this section is being committed in a building or place within its jurisdiction, on the application of a police officer or welfare officer, grant a warrant to search such a building or place and seize any such works found there.
