Time to be allowed for suit by persons claiming the treasure

Time to be allowed for suit by persons claiming the treasure.--If upon an enquiry made under section 10, the Deputy Commissioner or the Tehsildar sees reason to believe that the treasure was hidden within one hundred years, before the date of the finding, by a person appearing by the said notification and claiming such treasure, or by some other person under whom such person claims, the Deputy Commissioner shall make an order adjourning the hearing of the case for such period as he deems sufficient to allow of a suit being instituted in the Civil Court by the claimant to establish his right.
