s. 8

8. Time to be allowed for suit by person claiming the treasure If, upon an enquiry made under section 7, the Collector sees reason to believe that the treasure was hidden within one hundred years before the date of the finding, by a person appearing as required by the said notification and claiming such treasure, or by some other person under whom such person claims, the Collector 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. [Appeal against such declaration] Any person aggrieved by a declaration made under this section may appeal against the same within two months from the date thereof to the [Board of Land Administration]. Subject to such appeal, every such declaration shall be final and conclusive.
