Relinquishment of property

Where the possession of any property is to be delivered to the person entitled to possession thereof, the Government shall cause to be published in the Fort. St. George Gazette a notice: (a) specifying the property which is relinquished; (b) and shall cause a copy of the notice to be affixed to some conspicuous part of such property. Upon the notice referred to in sub-section (3) being published in the Fort. St. George Gazette, the property specified in such notice shall cease to be subject to the control of the Government and from the date of such publication shall be deemed to have been delivered to the person or persons entitled to possession thereof; and the Government shall not be liable for any rent, compensation or damages in respect of such property for any period after the said date.
