Section 8:
Time to be allowed for suit by person claiming the treasure.
If, upon an enquiry made
under section 7, the Collector sees reason to believe that the treasure was hidden within one
hundred years before the date of the finding, by a person appearing as required by the said
notification and claiming such treasure, or by some other person under whom such person claims,
the Collector shall make an order adjourning the hearing of the case for such period as he deems
sufficient, to allow of a suit being instituted in the Civil Court by the claimant, to establish his
right.
