question have been acquired illegally. 

(2) Where the authorized officer specifies that some of the money or 

property or both referred to in the show cause notice are acquired by 

means of the offence, but is not able to identify specifically such

proceedings under this Act, be void and if such money or property 

or both are subsequently confiscated to the State Government under 

section 15, then, the transfer of such money or property or both shall 

be deemed to be null and void.

this Chapter may appeal to the High Court within thirty days from 

the date on which the order appealed against was passed.  

(2) Upon any appeal preferred under this section the High Court may,

or deliver possession thereof to the concerned authorized officer or 

to any person duly authorized by him in this behalf, within thirty 

days of the service of the order:  

Provided that the authorized officer, on an application made in 

that behalf and being satisfied that the person affected is residing in 

the property in question, may instead of dispossessing him 

immediately from the same, permit such person to occupy it for a 

limited period to be specified on payment of market rent to the State 

Government and thereafter, such person shall deliver the vacant 

possession of the property.  

(2) If any person refuses or fails to comply with an order made under 

sub-section (1), the authorized officer may take possession of the 

property and may, for that purpose, use such force as may be 

necessary. 

(3) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (2) the 

authorized officer may, for the purpose of taking possession of any 

money or property or both referred to in sub-section (1), requisition 

the service of any police officer to assist and it shall be the bounden 

duty of such officer to comply with such requisition.

property

or annulled by the High Court in appeal or where the person 

affected is acquitted by the Special Court, the money or property or 

both shall be returned to the person affected and in case it is not
