Person whose name has been incorrectly published as editor may make a declaration before a Magistrate

[If any person, whose name has appeared as editor on a copy of any newspaper, shows that the issue on which his name has appeared in this manner was not edited by him, he may, within two weeks of his becoming aware that his name has been published in this manner, appear before any District, Presidency or Sub-divisional Magistrate and make a declaration that his name has been incorrectly published as its editor in that issue, and if the Magistrate is satisfied after conducting such inquiry as he deems necessary, that such declaration is true, he shall certify accordingly; and on being given such certificate, the provisions of section 7 shall not apply to that person in respect of that issue of the newspaper. In any case, the Magistrate can extend the period granted under this section if he is satisfied that such person was prevented from appearing and making the declaration within the aforesaid period for sufficient reason.]
