Yes, if the FIR is registered and the documents are crucial for investigation, the police can approach the magistrate under Section 93 CrPC for a search warrant. However, the court will consider the necessity, ownership, and location of the documents. Since the place of search is the wife's or daughter’s residence, the warrant must be specific and justified to avoid violation of privacy. The husband must show that the documents are essential and not accessible otherwise.
