Under Section 115(1), the Registrar or any person authorised by the Registrar may enter a dwelling for inquiry or investigation at which time?

• A. At any time without notice
• B. At any reasonable time and with reasonable notice
• C. Only during office hours
• D. Only with a search warrant

Answer: (B)

Entry powers for inquiry are limited by practicality and privacy: an authorized person may enter a dwelling to carry out an inquiry or investigation only at a reasonable time and with reasonable notice. This balance ensures investigators can do their work without surprise while residents have time to prepare or be present. It means entries at any time without notice are not allowed, and it isn’t restricted to office hours, and it doesn’t automatically require a separate search warrant under this provision.
