10. (1) Where any storage accommodation is to be released, the 4 [District Magistrate] shall release it in favour of the person from whom it was requisitioned. If the storage accommodation was subject to mortgage which has since been redeemed, or if the person from whom it was requisitioned in dead or has transferred it, the 4 [District Magistrate] shall after making such enquiry as he considers necessary, specify by order in writing the person to whom possession thereof shall be given. The decision of the 4District Magistrate shall not, however, debar the party aggrieved by it from establishing its claim against the other party. (2) The delivery of possession of and payment of compensation for such storage accommodation to a person specified in the order made under sub-section (1) shall operate as full discharge of the State Government or the Collector from all liability in respect of all claims relating to such accommodation. (3) Where the person to whom possession of storage accommodation is to be given cannot be found and has no agent or other person empowered to accept delivery on his behalf, the Collector shall cause a notice, declaring that the storage accommodation is released from requisition, to be affixed on some conspicuous part thereof and also published in the official Gazette. (4) When the notice referred to in sub-section (3) has been affixed as provided therein, the storage accommodation specified in the notice shall cease to be subject to requisition on and from the date of the affixation of the notice, and shall be deemed to have been delivered to the person entitled to possession thereof, and the State Government or the Collector shall not be liable for any compensation or other claim in respect of the storage accommodation for any period after the said date. 1 [(5) When releasing a storage accommodation from requisition, the District Magistrate shall, as far as possible restore it in as good condition as it was when possession thereof was taken subject to the changes if any cost by reasonable wear and tear or an irresistable force.] 11. 2 [x x x]
