Delivery of posession of Vehicle or requisitiioned premises

Delivery of posession of Vehicle or requisitiioned premises (1) When any premises or vehicle requisitioned under section 131B are to be released from requisition, the possession thereof shall be delivered to the person from whom possession was taken at the time when the premises were requisitioned, or if there were no such person to the person deemed by the District Magistrate from all liabilities in respect of such delivery, but shall not prejudice any rights in respect of the premises or vehicle which any other person may be entitled by due process of law to enforce against the person to whom possession of the premises or vehicle is so delivered. (2) Where the person to whom possession of any premises or vehicle requisitioned under section 131B is to be given under sub-section (1) cannot be found or is not readily ascertainable or has no agent or any other person empowered to accept delivery on his behalf, the District Magistrate shall cause a notice declaring that such premises or vehicle are released from requisition to be affixed on some conspicuous part of such premises or vehicle and publish the notice in the Official Gazette. (3) When a notice referred to in sub-section (2) is published in the Official Gazette, the premises or vehicle specified in such notice shall cease to be subject to requisition on and from the date of such publication and be deemed to have been delivered to the person entitled to possession thereof and the District Magistrate shall not be liable for any compensation or other claim in respect of such premises or vehicle for any period after the said date.
