Statutory text

(1) If proceedings are taken under this Chapter against any person for the recovery of an arrear of land revenue, he may, at any time before the property is knocked down at a sale, pay the amount claimed and may, at the same time, deliver a protest signed by himself or by his authorised agent to the Revenue Officer taking such proceedings, and thereupon they shall be stayed. (2) Any person complying with the provisions of sub-section (1) may, notwithstanding anything contained in section 145, apply to the Sub-Divisional Officer that nothing was due or that the amount due was less than the amount for the recovery of which proceedings were taken and the Sub-Divisional Officer shall decide the objection so raised. (3) No appeal shall lie against the order of the Sub-Divisional Officer passed under sub-section (2), but the person concerned may institute a civil suit for the recovery of the sum or part thereof paid under protest.
