(3) On the failure of filing the claims within the period specified under this section the provisions of clause (h) of section 5 shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in sections 6, 7 and 8, apply as if the right to possession of the lands or buildings or structures, as the case may be had vested in the State Government by the operation of this Act and thereupon the right to make any such claim as aforesaid shall stand extinguished : Provided that when such failure is due to the pendency of proceedings in a Court of Law in which the validity of any notification under section 3 or 3-A is in dispute, the State Government may by order specially made in that behalf, extend the period for filing of the claim. (4) Any person disputing, the claim as to the extent or possession of such lands or buildings or structures, as the case may be, may file an objection before the Collector within three months from the date of the 4(public notice) under sub-section (2) of such claim and the Collector shall, prior to the determination of rent under sections 6, 7 and 8, enquire into the matter in the manner prescribed and pass such order as he deems just and proper.
