Management of attaching the land of a defaulter

It shall be lawful for the Collector, while attaching the land of a defaulter, or at any time during such attachment, to assume the management of the property, and to appoint an agent for the management of the same with written instructions under his seal; and the expenses of management shall be defrayed out of the income of the property; provided always, that where the property may be too inconsiderable to admit of its being charged with the salary of an agent, it shall be committed to the care of such Revenue officer as the Collector may select, who shall be subject to all the provisions herein contained in respect of an agent.
