Section 196:
Powers conferrable on curator.
The District Judge may authorise the curator to take
possession of the property either generally, or until security is given by the party in possession, or until
inventories of the property have been made, or for any other purpose necessary for securing the property
from misappropriation or waste by the party in possession:
Provided that it shall be in the discretion of the Judge to allow the party in possession to continue in
such possession on giving security or not, and any continuance in possession shall be subject to such
orders as the Judge may issue touching inventories, or the securing of deeds or other effects.
