Power to Land Commission to claim possession of holding.
|
25. Whenever the Land Commission are entitled to cause any holding to be sold for the non-payment of any sum due to them, they may, if they think fit, apply to the High Court, in the manner prescribed by rules of the High Court, for an order to the sheriff to put them in possession of such holding, and it shall be lawful for such court, if it sees fit, and upon hearing such evidence as is offered, to issue an order accordingly, and such order shall be executed by the sheriff in like manner as a writ for the delivery of possession. Any order made under this section shall be subject to the same right of appeal as now by law exists from any order of the said court. The court shall ascertain and determine in such proceeding the amount due to the Land Commission, and if, within the time limited by such order, the person against whom such order is made shall pay to the Land Commission the amount so found due, together with the costs of such proceedings, the Land Commission shall certify accordingly and such order shall not issue or be executed.
