Declaration of property of intending evacuee as evacuee property in certain cases

If the Custodian is satisfied that any person in respect of whom a declaration has been made under section 18 that he is an intending evacuee, has made a transfer of any property in contravention of section 19, or has failed to comply with any order made under clause (c) or clause (d) of section 20, the Custodian may by notification in the Official Gazette declare the property in which such person has any right or interest to be evacuee property, and on the issue of such notification any property specified in the notification shall be deemed to be evacuee property which has vested in the Custodian within the meaning of this Act. (1) Rents, rates, lease money, sale proceeds and other amounts payable to the Custodian in respect of evacuee property under the Act or under these Rules shall be tendered in cash or postal money order to the cashier in the office of the Custodian or to any other person who may be authorised by the Custodian in this behalf to receive such money. (2) The person receiving the money on behalf of the Custodian shall issue a receipt in Form No. 9. Receipts issued by the person making realisation on behalf of the Custodian on the spot shall, however, be prepared in Form No. 10 by carbon process by using double-sided carbon paper. (3) Crossed cheques may at the discretion of the Custodian be accepted. In case of out-station cheques, the amount on account of bank Commission should also be added to the amount due to the Custodian. No receipt for any cheque shall be valid discharge of any liability unless the cheque is cashed.
