(1) An evacuee who returns to West Bengal before the expiry of the appointed day may apply in writing to the Collector before the expiry of that day— (a) where a Collector's Order has been made in respect of any of his evacuee property and such property is not in the wrongful use or occupation of any person—for the cancellation of such order ; (b) where a Collector's Order has been made in respect of any of his evacuee proparty and such property is in the wrongful use or occupation of any person—for the cancellation of such order and for the delivery of possession of such property ; and (c) where a Collector's Order has not been made in respect of any of his evacuee property and such property is in the wrongful use or occupation of any person—for the delivery of possession of such property. (2) Upon an application aforesaid being made the Collector may, after making such summary inquiry as he thinks fit,— (a) in cases coming under sub-clause (a) or (b) of sub- section (1) cancel the Collector's Order; and (b) in cases coming under clause (b) or (c) of sub- section (1), also cause the possession of such property to be delivered to the evacuee and may use or cause to be used force for such purposes, if necessary. (3) Where the Collector is of opinion that the cancella- tion of the Collector's Order Or the delivery of possession would not be feasible under sub-section (2), he shall report the case to the State Government and the State Govern- ment shall thereupon refer the case to the Minority Commission constituted under Notification No. 2276CE, / CR- 481 / 50, dated the 6th May, 1950, for advice. The State Government shall after considering such advice pass such order as it thinks fit, so however, that if the State Govern- ment is of opinion that exceptional circumstances exist on account of which it would not be feasible to cancel the Collector's Order or to cause the possession of the evacuee property to be delivered, it shall take such steps for adequately rehabilitating the evacuee as it deems necessary.
