Section 199:
Report from Collector where estate includes revenue paying land.
(1) Where the estate of
the deceased person consists wholly or in part of land paying revenue to Government, in all matters
regarding the propriety of summoning the party in possession, of appointing a curator, or of nominating
individuals to that appointment, the District Judge shall demand a report from the Collector, and the
Collector shall thereupon furnish the same:
Provided that in cases of urgency the Judge may proceed, in the first instance, without such report.
(2) The Judge shall not be obliged to act in conformity with any such report, but, in case of his acting
otherwise than according to such report, he shall immediately forward a statement of his reasons to the
High Court, and the High Court, if it is dissatisfied with such reasons, shall direct the Judge to proceed
conformably to the report of the Collector.
